Practical DV Filmmaking

TRAMA

A guide for the complete beginner, Practical DV Filmmaking provides a practical guide to the process of making a film with low-cost digital equipment: from development through to production, post-production and distribution. While the technical tools you need are fully explained, the book concentrates on filmmaking principles throughout, illustrating how these tools can be used to achieve stylistic approaches for innovative filmmaking. The new edition is updated with a chapter on careers and information on the newest developments in DV technology. The hands-on projects are well-liked by readers, and this edition will have all-new ones. Another unique selling point is the coverage of distribution-how to have your movie picked up and seen by more than your family once you've made it. This is actually the hardest part of filmmaking and is not covered adequately in related titles.
