A Video Handbook: A complete guide to video making from development to distribution

By: unknown author

The world is going through a media revolution unlike anything that has gone before. Video production has gone from the hands of the few into the hands of the many. Now anyone with a cell phone can shoot and upload a video onto the internet within minutes. Accessible technology and the internet have changed the playing field and it is open to anyone. Yet strangely, with all this "power to the people", feature films are still going strong, even television is holding its own - why?It's called production value. Despite billions of people making videos and thousand of hours of video being uploaded every hour of every day, people still want stories. Big name stars, exciting plots, exotic locations, all these things are extremely popular. So you have a choice, you can throw all the rules out the window, grab a camera, and create a homemade masterpiece, or, as your ideas become more complex and you want to involve a cast and crew, you can use methods that have become standard in the production industry.That's what this handbook is all about. It's written to give a general overview of the production industry: writing a script, raising money, the production process, editing and distribution. Based on over thirty years of video production experience and hundreds of production workshops, filmmaker Rob Thompson distills the most important, and often little known information, into a clearly explained handbook that's easy and fun to read. "Fantastic" "A goldmine of information" "Big results!" These are just a few of the comments made by filmmakers who've benefitted from this handbook.
