The role of continuity, whether shooting on film or videotape, requires certain skills and disciplines which are well detailed in this book, with many additional chapters relating to the requirements of the job and outlining the conventions governing single camera shooting.  The book has been enlarged to include information on the latest videotape technology and the requirements of continuity when shooting single camera on videotape.

This book takes the reader step by step through all the stages of a production: setting up, location shooting and post production.  It is aimed at anyone interested in a profession as director, script supervisor or production assistant, at those already training, and at anyone already in the business who would enjoy a simple, straightforward, easy-to-read guide through the making of a film or video.
