- Summary:
- Directing and Producing for Television provides readers with the tools they need to help them direct and produce efficiently in a variety of settings. This vital resource is based on the author's experience in the industry and in university settings. It is ideal for students who are adept at handling equipment but often lack actual production techniques. This text addresses those critical details and outlines the demands of each format. The emphasis is on multiple-camera television, although serious consideration is given to single-camera production in those formats, such as documentaries and commercials/PSAs, where it is the predominant production technique.
