I have notes from the Video Production paper I took last year so I'll post those up when I get time.

Also, I have the textbook and will post as much as I can from that.

An aspect of university that annoys me is how expensive it is. I'm a believer in free education and the fact that they make you pay so much for books (100 bucks being typical) is disgusting. This is my way of making a small protest against this. Everybody has a right to education regardless of wealth, status and/or anal retentiveness...

Chapter 1
The Camera
The way you learn video is by doing it. So swing that camera up onto your shoulder and have a go! You can't hurt the camera, unless you drop it.

You already know plenty about screen images: you know what you like, what you don't like, and what you want to see.

Now-how to get it.

The most effective way to learn video is to make a start then ask the questions you need as you go along. No-one can learn a hundred buttons at once, so work at your own pace.

Usually you'll be working in a group and what one person forgets, another person understands and can explain. Don't be afraid to ask someone else, because next time you may remember what they've forgotten.

Most people start off thinking that video production is about technical knowledge. Of course that's part of it. But almost no-one produces a video on their own.

Video work is group work, and it relies on the combined efforts of a good team. When the crew members communicate well with each other, and everyone feels their contribution is needed and respecteed, people start to really fire with creativity. That lifts the production to a higher level.

Okay, where to start...
