Harris, a retired television production teacher and consultant, introduces high school students to the basic skills needed for entry-level jobs in the television production industry.
Emphasizing vocabulary and the correct use of terms, he discusses equipment, responsibilities, shooting techniques, and principles associated with camera operation, picture composition,
scriptwriting, lighting, directing, music, editing, makeup and costume considerations, and other areas. This edition has been updated to address the digital technology used to create television
programming and expanded to include broadcast journalism theory and basic concepts, including ethics and news judgment, the newscast script and news writing for broadcast, preparing for and
conducting interviews, and public forums and broadcast journalism courses. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
