Opis

This volume is designed to enable the newcomer and the experienced assistant to understand the basic elements of continuity, as well as to provide a grasp of the technological changes that affect the job. Formerly The Continuity Handbook: A Guide for Single-Camera Shooting, the book has now been revised to bring it into line with current-day practices. The fourth edition features new chapters on the crew, the script, the continuity report sheet, front page, timing on location and working in widescreen.

Recenzje

Review of previous edition:
'As production techniques become more sophisticated, maintaining continuity becomes a greater challenge. Books like this one can help. Most independent videomakers will find The Continuity Handbook very helpful. The book is both concise and detailed in its coverage of the single-camera production process, making it a good resource for both the newcomer and the intermediate videomaker'
