The authors cover every aspect of filmmaking from technical guidance to strategic and ethical issues, making it indispensable for both amateur and professional filmmakers.
• Readers are shown how to plan, film, edit and distribute; they are shown how to adopt an effective strategy so that their video makes a difference.
