Hollywood movies, television shows, and YouTube videos all have one thing in common: they start with a big idea. The producer takes that idea and brings it to the screen. The more complicated the project, the more skills a producer needs. Today, technology makes it easier for more people to take on the role of producer. Digital cameras, smartphones, and the internet help students and others produce their own videos. This book describes the production process and includes advice from industry experts, teachers, and young professionals to help students complete their projects successfully and safely while developing valuable skills that help build great careers in other fields.
