More of this kind of thing wanted.

richards upload of the booklet seems to have failed but the file is already available and linked to from the video projects page  https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/static/video.html

Thanks a lot Richard! this is really cool! it will be very useful for many people for sure, including me indeed!!! ;-)

Really good tutorial, thanks Richard!

Worth checking out also for budding filmmakers is James Monacco's 'How To Read A Film' which
is now on CD-ROM. It deconstructs movie making techniques e.g camera angles, lighting, narrative, ideological constructs etc.

A PDF version is available at  http://www.readfilm.com/HTRbook.html

Please will people read it and think about editing as I have had the misfortune to sit through hours of tedious ill-edited activist footage through the years that has had no narrative logic etc etc. ( OK I still love hardcore italian and Greek riotporn )

My other tip - back up your master edit copy, show reel etc. and don't trust anyone to wander off with it just for 'a look'. The alternative may just put you off film-making...
