Written for the beginner, Practical DV Filmmaking guides you
thorough 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 book assumes no background knowledge in either technology or
filmmaking and is divided into four key areas:
*DEVELOPMENT: turn your idea into a workable script, storyboard and
schedule.
*PRODUCTION: develop skills to shoot original short films and turn
a zero-to-low budget to your advantage.
*POST-PRODUCTION: learn basic editing techniques to enhance your
original idea using iMovie, Premiere and other popular tools.
*DISTRIBUTION: set up a website and use the internet to promote
your film. Includes numerous links to useful websites. Plus, top
tips for how to enter a film festival and a new chapter on
developing a career.
Projects enable you to master each step of the process taking you
through different aspects of filmmaking today. Gradually you will
find out where your strengths lie and how to make the most of them.
The book also encourages stylistic development by intruding
theoretical approaches to filmmaking. A glossary of terms plus an
appendix of resources make this guide a one-stop essential handbook
to DV filmmaking practice for beginners and student filmmakers.
