Expanded to cover more topics and techniques and the latest equipment for electronic news gathering (ENG) and electronic field production (EFP). The authors stick to the good old-fashioned content approach<-->lighting, composition, framing, and exposure<-->rather than focusing on the fleeting technology of today. By understanding the basics, students will learn to create good video using any kind of camera. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
