Product Description
Herbert Zettl draws on his expertise and field experience to bring you the new edition of VIDEO BASICS, the handiest and most authoritative, current, and technically accurate student guide to video production. Meeting the need for a briefer book, this text distills comprehensive video instruction so that it can be covered in a single semester. The book moves students from video concepts and processes to production tools and techniques, and finally, to the production environment (studio and field, inside and outside) and its effects. A more conceptual framework leads the student from the idea (what to create) to the image (how to create) on video.

  great stuff!! 


Really am enjoying the book. A great wealth of info!
  Somewhat Useful ( meanmaster )
It is a useful book but it is unneccesary if you are taking a course along with it. If you really need a book to refrence to remember what trucking, panning, and medium shots are then go ahead and get it anyway. But really, any good college intro to film class should surpass this to the point you don't need it.
  A Great Start ( zenzen6 )
This book is a must for anyone getting into video production. Full of basic information that is conveyed in an intuitive and concise way, plus there is plenty of advanced knowledge to keep you referring back for years to come. Definitely a staple for all video people.
  Very Good 
My boss told me to buy this book, and it is one of the best available book.
  great book!! ( christiner81 )
i am an electronic media communications major and this book has been used for a number of years in my school's communications program. video basics 3 has everything you need to know and everything is explained in much detail, yet not too complicated. there are great illustrations throughout the book that are very helpful as well.
i bought this book used from my campus bookstore and i gotta wonder, why would someone return this book at the end of the semester? i still have mine and have re-read it through quite a few times, most definately something worth holding on to!
