Video Making for Beginners

I should preface by saying I am a Photographer with above average knowledge in this field...

I think this book covers an overview of everything you need to know about making videos. It covers equipment (not specifics), gadgets, technical terms, storytelling, marketing, etc. This is a TON of information and for a beginner I would suggest using it as a resource that you go to often rather than only reading it once. Since this is a great overview you can then determine what areas you want to do further research.

I particularly liked the aspect of storytelling, writing a script & deciding who the "hero" (main focus) will be and how it can change the message being conveyed.

I think this would be great for a YouTuber who has a keen interest in video making and wants to improve their skills.
I also think this is a fabulous resource for entrepreneurs/ marketing teams to understand how much goes into video making so if they decide to hire a professional they will know how to ask for what they want and understand the detail required for creating great video content.

Thank you Net Galley & publisher for the digital advanced readers copy.

This was quite more extensive of a resource than I expected it to be. It touches upon many aspects of filming I hadn’t taken into consideration and proved to be a quite valuable. Sort of thought it would be a light read but it delves deeper. I’d recommend others interested give it a read to familiarize yourself with the processes and equipment necessary for creating good video content.

This was a useful guide to video making, and I read it slowly and will reference it when I need to. It covered all the basics, including what I needed to know. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the book.

It’s very concise and easy to read, covers the basics. If you’re only thinking about making videos, I’d recommend the book instead of reading a bunch of articles elsewhere.
