The leading British writer-director of his generation; David Hare is also one of the most productive. The last two years have seen the outstanding success of two stage plays; The Secret Rapture and Racing Demon; and the release of two films; Paris by Night and Strapless.The pieces collected here; written left-handed; form both a concealed professional autobiography and a lucid commentary on his work.

RynkowskiAs a new videographer and an old still photographer of 40 years; I searched extensively for a clear cut step by step guide to shooting video. Well; here it is! I bought it; read it; and use its suggestions. Most books tend to get into the more commercial aspects of models; crews; producers; directors; and editors; but as a husband and wife team doing simple travel videos; and editing them ourselves; this book fits the bill. It soon becomes clear you just dont shoot and show like most of the YouTube amateur hack videos you see; but its shoot; edit; shoot more; edit; shoot more; and edit to get it down to a fifteen minute or less show. Even Tony Levelles mini assignments throughout the book are really helpful. From suggected equipment; pre-shooting tasks; the shots you need; on site shooting; and putting it all together its here; and like Tony says; "everything happens in a sequence." If you want to start shooting video the right way; without a big production crew; "Digital Video Secrets" will show you the way. This great book is a step by step how to shoot video guide; with mini-assignments; that lead you through the maze to your final video masterpiece.31 of 32 people found the following review helpful. Good Outline of Topics; Nothing MoreBy Charles ConnorThe title is completely misleading. There are no secrets here. This book contains a good outline that can be used as a checklist of things to do; things to know; and things not to do. Each topic has from two sentences to a page of descriptive content. If you want to know the details of how to do anything recommended in the book; you will need to go to other sources. Its more like a detailed outline or summary for a course in digital video. Its not that its bad; you just need to know what it is and what it isnt. Dont buy the book expecting to get details on any procedure.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very; very basic stuffBy PlumeThe recommendations in this book are hardly secrets; the information is basic and for the absolute novice. I was really expecting a lot more. You can find this information online at any of the DV camera user forums and in articles at Video Maker. This book really disappointed me.
