Description
Over the past few years television has witnessed a major reshaping of the industry, and technological change on a massive scale. While the role of continuity in a single camera shooting has remained virtually unchanged, it is essential for the person doing the job to have an understanding of some of these changes, especially in the area of post production.

The Continuity Handbook enables both the newcomer and the experienced PA to understand the basic elements of continuity, as well as giving them a grasp of the latest technological changes which affect the job. Formerly the Continuity in Film and Video, this new edition has now been completely updated to include and explain these changes. New chapters have also been added on the setting up of a production - especially an independent production - in recognition of the growing number of freelance readers!
