This website was created as an online course supplement for students in a high school video production class. In class we use Video Communication & Production by Jim Stinson. This is a great book. However, I felt the need to create more and different examples to help some of my students. This site contains this extra and alternative examples. It also serves as a kind of notebook that touches on major topics. Although some topics parallel topics in the book this is not a substitute, so you will find a lot of information missing. You must read the book to gain a real understanding.
These sections are standalone and can be presented in any order, this is the order we generally use.
