Book Reviews of The Bare Bones Camera Course for Film and Video
Book Review: Terrifically Helpful and Inexpensive Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this book in our digital video program for the past 10 years (at the College of Southern Nevada.) All beginning production classes (Video 1) use it as the primary required book. It's simple, yet comprehensive, touching on a variety of clearly presented topics. A non-threatening book, it's very user friendly, possessing lots of drawings and diagrams that are not techno-speak. Above all, it's a primer-introduction to 'film grammar.' It covers, composition, shots, the axis, lighting etc etc. - - little of everything. My students are tested on this at both midterm and at the final exam time. As we offer 10 sections of Video 1 a year, that means a couple thousand folks have used this book in our program. Beyond all that I have said, this book is inexpensive - and in today's educational marketplace that is a real gift. I've never met Tom Schroeppel nor written him, and I'm not even sure he is aware of how loyal we have been in using this book at CSN. Hopefully, this five-star rating and 'review' is a nice thank you to him. Thanks Tom.
Summary of The Bare Bones Camera Course for Film and Video
Author's Preface: "This book explains, as simply as possible, how to shoot usable images on film, tape and other media. If you are, or plan to be, a cameraperson, I suggest you read your camera's operator's manual in addition to this book. When you understand both, you should be able to go out and shoot footage that works. If you're not interested in becoming a cameraperson, but simply want to better understand how the camera is used, no additional reading is required. Just relax and enjoy the book."Cinematography Books
