Digital Moviemaking 6th Edition
DIGITAL MOVIEMAKING is intended to meet the needs of professionals and students who are interested in digital moviemaking and want to emphasize the directorial and storytelling functions of the media.
The text underscores the creative process - the kinds of decisions that are made and the strategies that are developed. Further, Gross and
Ward stress the forethought and care that must go into all aspects of production, including the technical information that anyone engaged in production in this area should know.
While concentrating on the narrative moving picture, many of the principles discussed are useful for other forms, such as documentaries, commercials, and music videos.
The authors retain the sequence of information which has proven successful in the previous editions - a technical chapter is followed by a chapter geared toward the aesthetics of the same topic.
The book's organization of a technical chapter followed by an aesthetic chapter gives the balance that students need for the moviemaking process.
A four-page, full-color insert conveys important information about the role of color in moviemaking and also includes shots from modern movies that effectively use color and light.
The detailed glossary, located in the back of the text, defines all key terms bolded in the text.
A companion website for students and instructors features useful links, chapter summaries, downloadable forms, and sample test questions for students.
