The Videomaker Guide to Video Production 5th Edition

Boring but good information. Required for class, love that I could rent it instead of buying and selling it at a later date.

I've read specific chapters applying to my video experience. Most of trhe information is very general and not as detailed as I had hoped. If you're a novice, this book would be worthwhile. Being an experienced user, some of the information was good, but most of it was too basic. The price is right for the contents!

An good book for beginners and experienced videographers alike. Of course, do not expect a full course on video making, but the book has a decent coverage of the most important topics. Worth the price.

Seems more like a randomly ordered compendium of pros', semi-pros', and hobbyists' hints, tips, and articles than a textbook. Where a normal textbook slowly builds on previous chapters adding more skills and vocabulary terms as the book progresses, this is a group of articles written by different people who assume the reader already knows a lot of the skills, concepts, and jargon and have no knowledge of what's covered in other chapters, so there's also a bit of overlap and conflicting info based on preference/opinion.Basically, don't expect to gain a progressive knowledge of video production by reading this book front to back. It is however a very good reference book to have.

A straight forward guide. Can be used as general reference to go back to again and again for video/cinematography fundamentals. Nice to have around.

Great resource for all aspects of video production.

Totally as advertised, a decent book at a decent price.
