Download or read book Kevin Kearney written by Brody T. Lorraine and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-09-17 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin Kearney-Audio Artist, Sound Designer, Location Sound Recordist follows the growth of television, television commercial production and filmmaking in Australia. The extremely small population of Australia up to the seventies allowed a major crossover in the arts between poets, musicians, writers, experimental filmmakers and entrepreneurs which in turn influenced the work of audio artists, like Kearney, in both their commercial and personal film work. Moreover because there is a paucity of information and very few books available on such people as audio artists, sound designers and location sound recordists, this book and the following volume will be invaluable to those interested in analogue sound on film production period.

Download or read book Career As a Screenwriter written by Institute for Career Research and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING, GLAMOROUS and high earnings careers in the 21st century is screen-writing. The field includes screen-writers (also called scriptwriters and scriptwriting journalists) who write for movies, television and video productions, as well as some playwrights (or dramatists) who write for live theater and the movies. Screenwriters come up with stories, characters and dialogues for films and TV shows, creating scripts that guide the work of directors, actors, artists, and technicians. Screenwriters may work in the major entertainment centers of Hollywood and New York City. Some work in other cities and towns, creating scripts for radio broadcasts, corporate sales presentations, advertising and instructional videos, nonprofit fundraisers, web-based series, political presentations, and video games. Would you make a good screenwriter? Talent - creativity, imagination, the ability to tell a good story - is the most important qualification. Then you add specialized training in writing screenplays (movies) and teleplays (TV). It takes plenty of practice and experience to hone your writing skills, so expect to spend many hours writing and rewriting scripts. Personal traits are also important. Are you an innovative writer who enjoys the creative process? Do you love the movies, TV and other media? Could you work well in a collaborative environment, teaming with fellow writers to draft and revise a script? Can you handle constructive criticism - and even rejection? Are you persistent? If so, you could be successful in a screenwriting career. A college degree is not required, but is typically helpful to get started. Some writers major in screenwriting, film production, or creative writing in college, while other scriptwriters study topics far removed from the arts. The most important factor is your ability to write, so take writing classes, practice your craft, and build up a portfolio of your own scripts. Screenwriters may work for major production studios, local television and radio stations, corporations, not-for-profit organizations, or advertising agencies. Television writers are typically employees of a production house or studio, working as part of a team that creates each week's episode for a series. Film screenwriters are usually self-employed freelancers who are represented by agents. They may come up with their own ideas for films and sell scripts to producers; adapt novels or other existing works for the cinema; or work as "script doctors" to revise an existing script to meet the specific needs of a producer and/or director. It is not easy to break into screenwriting. Competition among talented writers is fierce for the limited amount of work available. You need talent and determination to succeed, but if you are willing to spend the necessary time studying the industry and learning how to write a good screenplay, you can achieve the personal and professional satisfaction that accompanies the role of a successful screenwriter."

Book excerpt: LEARN VIDEO SKILLSThe Ultimate Video Production Skills Training Guide eBookEverything You Need to Know, from Scriptwriting, to Filming, to Editing Professional Looking VideosThis book will help you develop professional skills in scriptwriting, pre-production, camera work, lighting, editing and soundtrack design, and much more.Whether you are simply producing a V-log at home, or shooting your own social media marketing video, Kickstarter video, music video or short film for a global audience, this book will make all the difference in creating the professional look that will make your work stand out in a world saturated with a billion YouTube and Facebook videos.Written by national award-winning video producer Gregory S. Walsh, who has produced more than 1000 film and video projects over his 30-year career as a filmmaker, his eBook provides a clear, easy to follow step-by-step guide to the fundamentals of filmmaking.From the author:I produced my first video in June of 1986. I was 33-years-old at the time, and had just been promoted to Manager of Corporate Television at Seafirst Bank in Seattle, Washington. I had been with the bank for ten years, but had never made a professional video and now I was going to be the video producer for the largest bank in the Northwest! Ha, wish I had read a book like this before I took on this new assignment. Now, thirty plus years later, and 1000 film and video productions on my resume, I figure I've learned a thing or two since June of '86. And that includes all those years wearing many hats, including as a scriptwriter, director, producer, cinematographer and editor. I've been editing for years on systems like AVID, Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro. I've written tv commercials, movie scripts, television scripts, corporate scripts and documentary scripts; and directed almost every one of the 1000 projects I've been involved with. It's a lot of hours in the trenches pounding out scripted words, director's shot lists and edits on the edit bench. What I've learned is to keep it simple. To be super organized so that you can be super creative. For me, the two go hand in glove. I've learned lighting techniques from cinematographers who "paint with light", scriptwriting from masters of film as literature, and editing from sculptors of sight, sound and story.Three years ago I decided to do something with all this knowledge, to share it with a world that has gone video bananas over the past 30 years. Now, 85% of the content on the web is video. It's a video world! But, the skills of the one billion people posting videos to their websites, social media sites and in live events, has not kept pace with the explosion in video and the ease and quality of video production equipment and editing software.I'm a firm believe that its not the car, it's the driver that wins the race. And so, no matter what kind of video camera or even cell phone camera you're using, or whether you're editing on iMovie 2 or Adobe Premiere Pro, I want you to have the skills to write, produce, direct, film and edit professional looking videos! This book will teach you everything you need to know to produce videos like a pro, from script to screen. It's the equivalent knowledge of an undergraduate degree in video production. Only it won't take you four years to read this book! So, let's not procrastinate another second, let's get you the knowledge you need to transform your video skills from amateur to professional.Gregory S. Walsh

Download or read book The Understructure of Writing for Film and Television written by Ben Brady and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique, comprehensive introduction to screenwriting offers practical advice for the beginning writer, whether college student or freelancer. Based on their experience as professional writers and as teachers in a large, successful screenwriting program at California State University, Northridge, the authors provide a progression of assignments at manageable screenwriting lengths for beginners. They lead students through development of a premise, treatment, stepsheet, and, finally, miniscreenplay—essential elements in writing a longer script. A major feature of the text is the use of many example scenes from contemporary and classic American films, such as On the Waterfront, Kramer vs. Kramer, The Godfather, The Graduate, Tootsie, and more. Other scenes are drawn from international films and dramatic literature. The criticism of these scenes invites students to develop their own comparative models, while simultaneously providing exposure to the central analytical terms of good dramatic writing. The authors also place screenwriting within the larger tradition of dramatic writing in order to put the beginning writer in touch with the wealth of art, experience, and practical ideas the drama contains. They provide an up-to-date, practical discussion of marketing and copywriting a screenplay, with addresses of relevant professional societies. Most importantly, they never offer an ill-advised shortcut or restrict students to only one way of thinking about a character, situation, or scene. In The Understructure of Writing for Film & Television, the student's thought and creativity are central.
