[Michael Parker · Rating 1 out of 5]

I didn't expect to find a chapter on job searching, internships, resume writing, interviews, etc, in a book purportedly about single-camera video production, but that's what the last chapter of this book is all about. In fact, there is very little in this book specific to the topic of single-camera video production. It's a very high-level introduction to video production in general. I cracked it open because I was hoping to find some info to up my game with the single-camera videos I create for YouTube. No such luck. If that's what you're looking for, this isn't your book.

That said, if you know very little about video production and you'd like a book potentially titled "An Introduction to Video Production", then this is for you.
