Technical Film and TV for Nontechnical People
by Drew Campbell
From the author of Technical Theater for Nontechnical People–affirmed by Library Journal as a book that “will certainly become a standard introductory text on technical theater”–comes a guide that makes the technical ins and outs of TV and film simple for everyone to understand.
Lively and informative for people in “the business” and elsewhere, this valuable resource details set arrangement, camera angles, microphone positioning, and everything else that takes place during a typical day of shooting. Plus, the buzz words and technical skills required to work on set are explained in easy-to-read language. For actors, screenwriters, directors, and anyone who has ever wondered what a gaffer or best boy does, this is your perfect information source.

Reviews
“Campbell not only gives you the buzzwords but also the buzz, and he does it with wit and a practitioner's understanding of the medium. No more mumbling under your breath or burying your ignorance in a well placed cough; you'll actually know your ASA from your ENG when you're done with this nontechnical technical handbook. I highly recommend it, whether you want to communicate with a TV audience, a film gaffer or just friends at a post-movie coffee shop.”
—Patrick Moloney, Vice-President, Production and Show Development, Universal Studios
“Knowledge is power. Drew Campbell has made the film process so clear, one need never fear technical terminology, site specific colloquialisms, or film jargon. With this knowledge, anyone can easily make it to the martini shot. An excellent introduction and immersion into the A, B, C's of movie set procedures and basic film grammar.”
—David K. Irving, Chair, Undergraduate Film and Television, New York University, Tisch School of the Arts
