Film Production

  • 2nd Edition
  • June 27, 1994
  • STEVEN BERNSTEIN
  • English
Film Production is a long established and authoritative textbook on the techniques and processes of filmmaking from script to screen. It provides an easy to follow technical introduction to the subject, demystifying the processes and explaining terms for the beginner. It deals with the `technology of expression' showing how technology enables the concept of cinematic language or grammar. By mastering the various technical aspects of filmmaking, the potential for effective, evocative, meaningful and significant cinematic expression becomes increasingly possible.A broad understanding of the entire process of filmmaking will benefit even the specialist. The book begins with an examination of film stock and exposure, and then goes on to a study of the camera, its operation and the procedure for shooting. The book then looks at editing, camera movement, composition and lighting explaining both the technology and creative uses. Each chapter refers to the most widely used techniques and treats filmmaking as a practical art. This is a book that every new entrant to the film industry should read.Steven Bernstein is a Lecturer at the University of Southern California Film Department and has been a Director of Photography on many feature films including `Like Water for Chocolate' - the highest grossing foreign language film in the history of the American film industry and winner of over 30 international awards. He has a wealth of experience in directing and cinematography as commercials and documentaries for BCC and Channel 4.

Human Factors in Organizational Design and Management - IV

  • 1st Edition
  • May 31, 1994
  • G.E. Bradley + 1 more
  • English
This book contains a series of papers which were presented during the Fourth International Symposium on Human Factors in Organizational Design and Management, held in Stockholm. The symposium was primarily concerned with human organization in the development, introduction and use of new technology as a challenge for human resource development in a changing world. The focus of the symposium was on organizational and management issues (macroergonomics) rather then the more traditional microergonomic aspects of human factors. Particular attention was paid to the improvement of the quality of work life including human resource development and productivity.A broad selection of papers on theory, methodology, research findings, reviews and case studies from leading scientists and professionals throughout the world. These papers provide the reader with a good insight into the ODAM field with special attention to the development, introduction and use of new technologies.

The three volumes in the PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRON OPTICS Series constitute the first comprehensive treatment of electron optics in over forty years. While Volumes 1 and 2 are devoted to geometrical optics, Volume 3 is concerned with wave optics and effects due to wave length. Subjects covered include:Derivation of the laws of electron propagation from SchrUdinger's equationImage formation and the notion of resolutionThe interaction between specimens and electronsImage processingElectron holography and interferenceCoherence, brightness, and the spectral functionTogether, these works comprise a unique and informative treatment of the subject. Volume 3, like its predecessors, will provide readers with both a textbook and an invaluable reference source.

Cobol Companion

  • 1st Edition
  • April 21, 1994
  • Richard Yorke + 1 more
  • English
The COBOL language is one of the most widely used in both FE, HE and industry. Many COBOL textbooks concentrate on the syntax of the language giving only short examples and hence students often experience problems in transferring their technical knowledge to practical situations.This book, intended as a 'companion' to any introductory COBOL textbook or as further study for existing users of COBOL, follows a practical, problem based approach that will give the reader a more realistic and useful grounding in how to construct effective programs in COBOL 85.
