Web Video: Making It Great, Getting It Noticed by Jennie Bourne with Dave Burstein covers the basics of video production for the web as well as how to promote and "monetize" it.
| Web Video offers practical, step-by-step instruction and advice from top experts in the field, with hands-on projects and footage available for download at the author’s website, www.webvideobook.tv <http://www.webvideobook.tv> . Readers will learn everything they need to know, including what it takes to turn a video into a viral hit on the web, how to shoot high-quality video that stands out, editing techniques that draw in viewers, and more. |
It provides a good overview of the essentials of video production for the net - covering what equipment you really need, how to shoot, light and edit; what to avoid when shooting, all about compression, and how to get good audio, - probably the most difficult aspect of quality internet video production. There is not a lot of indepth technical info so this is book is more of getting started book.
If you are already in the video production business, you may want to skip some to preliminary chapters and skip to the sections where they talk about how to make money and how to become "Internet Famous."
The book is well laid out, with lots of images, graphics and color. If you know someone who is interested in getting into the Internet and web video business, this would be a great first step book for them
