Video production requires a high degree of organization to be a
success. Good organization will require a proper diary to be kept
of your production. It is the understanding of the paperwork and
its organization that will make your production either a success or
a failure. Explained in accessible terms and assuming little prior
knowledge of the subject, this book will help you to: plan
successful procedures for all stages of a video production; produce
paperwork logically to get professional results; understand the
basic principles of setting up and running your own business; avoid
common (and costly) pitfalls. If you are a student who wishes to
learn about all aspects of planning and documenting a video
production, from conceptualization right through to final
screening, this book is for you. It is particularly suitable for
the City and Guilds Media Techniques Certificate: Television and
Video Production Competences. This book complements the other three
titles in the series, which allow you to understand the overall
process of video production, and then look in more detail at sound
and lighting.
