Interactive exercises guide you from the fundamentals to more advanced topics and techniques. You'll come away with an appreciation of what it takes to make a film or video. Advice is given on how to avoid common mistakes - and, better yet, how to learn from them.About the Author: Jack Anderson, SOC (Society of Operating Cameramen), is a 30-year veteran of the Hollywood film and television industry and an assistant professor of cinematography at Cal State University.
