THE COMPLETE HANDBOOK OF VIDEO

 (Everything you need to know about video – from home entertainment to everday office use)

 David Owen/Mark Dunton, Allen/Lane 1982.

This is an in-depth guide to video which gets fairly technical at times, and, although a little dated in some respects, the principles explained in others will have hardly moved. The book is very comprehensive as it moves through the operation of the medium itself, what video is all about, and moves on to cover how to shoot videos, professional and special effects, how direction and editing works, lighting etc., there are even sections on Home Erotica or shooting your own portfolio for those who fancy a serious dabble!

Both the book and the dust jacket are in good condition and the book is illustrated with both photographs and line drawings in both colour and black and white. A nice item for those who wish to move into the professional field.
