Video Basics 5 by Herbert Zettl (2006, Paperback)

I had to buy this book a few years back for one of my basic video production classes. Sure I was groaning at the time because everyone groans when it comes to buying textbooks for school. But after getting into the book, the info that I have culled from it has been valuable. It covers quite a bit of ground in the video field, but it does a great job.

The nice thing about this book is that it is very well written. It's not like a lot of those other college textbooks out there. You know the ones, very dry and boring. Great for reading before bed, but not so much for actual learning. No, this book is actually interesting, and written in a way that seems to maximize reading comprehension and retention.

I find myself coming back to this often in my more advanced projects. Fantastic book. I highly recommend it.

I liked this item very much. It was for my daughter for her college class. It is very helpful and I was very pleased with condition of the book and how quickly I received it. I give this item and excellent rating.

TY, the book has blemishes and I knew that on the spot. the book has no missing pages so it's perfect for the price!

Worst experience ever, I kept waiting for the book but it never arrived I contacted them several times and they kept saying that it will arrive soon and should give it more it at the end i placed the order from some where else and requested that I get my money back. They are the worst

If you can get a syllabus from the 5th edition, it's pretty much just as good as getting the newer. Save your money.

I got in relatively fast and its in the condition i expected. you will get what you paid for. really you will... i hope this is 100 characters now.

Book was in good condition, came in quickly prior to the first day of school. I had never placed a bid before, first time experience was quick, & easy.

thanks. it should do me good. i need it for a video class i am taking this semester. it is great when you can get a deal on a book. college books are so much money. gross.

The book was delivered in a appropriate amount of time and was delivered in the conditioned described in the posting. The text has been very helpful to my daughter who is attending college currently

Excellent text. Appropriate to today's media requirments and sould serve for years to com. Will definately function as a great resource long after graduation.
