Digital Moviemaking - Softcover
Interested in digital moviemaking and want to focus on the directorial and storytelling functions of the media? DIGITAL MOVIEMAKING underscores the creative process--the kinds of decisions that are made and the strategies that are developed. Further, Gross and Ward stress the forethought and care that must go into all aspects of production, including the technical information that anyone engaged in production in this area should know. While concentrating on the narrative moving picture, many of the principles discussed are useful for other forms, such as documentaries, commercials, and music videos.

"The principle reason for adopting this text was its approach to teaching film production while allowing for the use of video equipment, and mostly emphasizing actual film production techniques along with the importance of storytelling."
"The book has a good mix between discussions of general procedures and production details."
"I adopted DIGITAL MOVIEMAKING four of five years ago primarily because of its excellent coverage of preproduction. I like the way students are walked through the essential preproduction activities... Students can see at a glance all the work involved in preproduction and infer that lots of collaborative activities must proceed simultaneously during this important phase of the production process."
