Made my first Wedding Movie great January 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book works carefully through the techniques for making home movies you'll want to watch more than once and more importantly that other people will want to watch at all. It steers you away from poor technique (hand held panning for example) and recommends what equipment you should use (not specifics though so it won't date).
I still refer back to it often before getting onto the next project. My sister in law still shows her wedding video to people every year (and people don't walk out!! That is truly an accolade).
Excellent book for the Novice. March 29, 2006

Can't rate this book highly enough. If you have just bought your first camcorder and wonder why your eforts aren't like those on TV then this book will show you how you can shoot video that will be pleasing to watch over and over again.Unlike most other books it is written in clear simple language that everyone can understand and if technichal terms are used they are clearly explained. (I now know what white balance is all about. It starts with the real basics of how to handle a camera to avoid camera shake and goes on from there to explain how to acheive things like increased depth of field and pull focus shots. The book is broken down into nice small chapters with plenty of illustrations to guide you, so you can read a chapter, and then go and practice that bit. A really excellent book for those who want to improve their camera skills.

This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to improve their home videos. Anyone with a digital video camera, computer and software such as windows movie maker will find it easy to produce home movies on their computer or on dvd. Ten quid spent on this book will transform your movies into another world. It is full of great tips and techniques, laid out in a commonsense way with the novice in mind. Even if you use only a fraction of the ideas included you will improve your movies no end. A must have book.
