Description
In Herbert Zettl's field-defining text TELEVISION PRODUCTION HANDBOOK, the author emphasizes how production proceeds in the digital age -- from idea to image -- and how it moves through the three major phases, from preproduction to production to postproduction. In this context, you will learn about the necessary tools, examine what they can and cannot do, and explore how they are used to ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness. This edition also features the latest digital equipment and production techniques, including HDV and HDTV.

To accommodate the needs of both beginning and intermediate students, each chapter of this textbook is divided into two sections of basic and more detailed material. Other learning features include color photos and floor plans for studios and other shooting situations, chapter key points and key terms, and a glossary. The first section of the text overviews the TV production process and technical production systems. Later sections cover pre-production (the script, the roles of the producer and director) and technical aspects of production, such as analog and digital processes, cameras and lenses, audio, lighting, recording and storage systems, editing, talent, field production, and big remotes. The section on post-production covers linear and nonlinear editing, continuity editing, and complexity editing. A separate DVD-ROM is available, offering an interactive program to give students hands-on practice. Zettl is affiliated with San Francisco State University.
