The “lite” version of Utz's popular Today's Video, 3/E (PH), this hands-on introduction to television production is oriented to the skills required in the real world of video and assumes no prior background whatsoever. Moving gradually from the simple to the complex, it covers the entire spectrum of TV production skills from start to finish—from setting up and operating video equipment, to the art of attractive camera angles and lighting, to the subtleties of managing a production crew and performers. Unlike most texts in the field, it includes both professional and consumer equipment production situations.
