Editorial Reviews

As the title clearly states, this manual guides novices and supports hobby filmmakers through using and understanding video and audio recording, editing, and producing within an education setting. This author missed nothing: her guide is excellent. In addition to what is stated in the title, Bell describes the history of multimedia, applying these skills for student-production products, and-importantly-ethics and child safety in imaging. She has included room for growth by addressing hardware and software concerns that encourage educators; she provides descriptions of applications from the free downloads to standard installations to more sophisticated and expensive programs. A comprehensive and first-rate purchase.-Jodi Kearns, University of Akron, OH Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
