Résumé
Congratulations! You've got a brand-new digital camcorder.
Now what do you do with it? Before you shoot a single frame
of tape, pick up The Little Digital Video Book. This
friendly guide to the basics of digital video will teach
you how to shoot, organize, and edit your own footage like
a pro. For new camcorder owners, it's the ideal--and
affordable--introduction to the exciting world of quality
digital filmmaking.
Your Process
The Little Digital Video Book is not some dense, jargon-filled reference tome. Instead, it focuses on practical shooting and editing techniques, and shows you how to start and actually finish that video project you have in mind--in less than a day. You get a thorough grounding in the basics of digital video, from how to get a good close-up shot and how to add a sound track to your video to how to organize your videotapes. The Little Digital Video Book is platform- and software-neutral, truly making it the guide for the moviemaking masses.
