Video Basics with InfoTrac Wadsworth Series in

"VIDEO BASICS gives our students the information they need and should be the book that television production students keep forever. It is a reference book that students can refer to years from now. While the technology changes, Zettl has understood that many of the basics of production have not changed. Technology alone can not make good television. Understanding the process message and how to use the tools to achieve the goal are among the lessons taught by Zettl.""The chief virtue of VIDEO BASICS is that it is concise, and covers more than enough information for the 10-week introductory course for which I use it. It is easy to read and well organized with the main points clearly stated.""The graphics, images and charts are excellent in adapting abstract concepts and techniques into understandable and concrete ideas.""I am really impressed with the clarity of this text."
