What others say about the book Marketing With Digital Video...

It's not too often that a book written for the absolute beginner in a subject also turns out to be a useful text for the seasoned professional, but VideoUniversity.com creator and director Hal Landen pulls off this trick with the second edition of Marketing with Digital Video." - Doug Graham, Columnist EventDV Read the complete review in EventDV

"Marketing with Digital Video is a comprehensive book covering everything from scripting and pre-production to shooting and editing. Author, Hal Landen discusses the myriad ways video can be applied for businesses and non-profits. The book focuses on using video for marketing and it is aimed at readers who either work for a company that plans to hire a video production company, or entry-level videographers who want to produce video for organizations.

Landen suggests that you study commercials to learn how visuals are carefully crafted to tell a story in 30 seconds. He discusses the elements that make up commercials and business videos such as the types of shots, using graphics and transitions and incorporating narration, music and sound effects.

Using real world examples, Landen covers everything from location scouting to hiring actors to choosing the best clothing and makeup for the camera. He shows examples of such production concepts as composition and continuity, and he discusses different camera angles, lighting techniques and tips for recording clear audio.

Concise and well written book that would work well as a college textbook or a reference guide for video producers who want to produce videos for business marketing."
