Reviews:

• While this resource covers the nuts-and-bolts of teaching first-year television production to high school students, teachers of other subjects will want to integrate some of these discussions and activities into their classrooms. Chapters cover equipment basics, visual literacy, writing for the medium, the production process, and more. The excellent course outline is supported by a student workbook.

• Should be considered when looking for a middle or high school text on digital TV instruction.
