The second edition of Video Production is a step-by-step guide to making effective video programmes. It has been specially designed to meet the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate degree and diploma students of various mass communication, video production, and journalism courses. While still focusing on the basic techniques, it now discusses the latest developments in the field of video production. Moving from the conceptual to the practical, the book covers all aspects of video production—pre-production, production, and post-production. Beginning with creating an understanding of visual grammar, the book goes on to discuss the parts of a video camera, the roles of the personnel involved, and the three phases of video production. Further, it covers in detail scriptwriting, lighting, sound, and editing; single-camera, multi-camera, and multimedia production processes; and the techniques involved in electronic news gathering and electronic field production. Video and broadcast technology and the various delivery options available in India and abroad are also discussed in detail. The book, in addition to providing the fundamentals, also acquaints readers with experiences of various professionals in video production.
