Book Presentation:
This book contains everything a student needs to know about planning, shooting, and editing a single‑camera video project.
Steve Price takes students through the entire single‑camera video production process, from pre- to post-, showing students how to expertly plan, light, capture audio, shoot, edit, and color-correct their work successfully and effectively. In addition, he teaches students how to translate their skills to any single‑camera genre in the industry through dedicated chapters on fiction and non‑fiction projects, such as narrative films and series, commercials, music videos, documentary films, news packages, and corporate and freelance videos. Each of these chapters discusses how preproduction, production, and postproduction differ between the genres, featuring tailored tips and tricks for each individual mode of production, as well as a case study that helps demonstrate the differences and similarities between each one.
This book is a must‑have for any filmmaking, media production, and communications students taking a class in single‑camera video production.
