ITEM OVERVIEW
This second, revised, and updated edition of "the bible" provides the basic skills and know-how required for beginning video activism, as well as offering a wealth of ideas on video strategies to those with some prior experience. Whether you are involved in campaigning, community organizing, or simply want to know how to make use of video as a political tool, this book is for you. From choosing and using the right equipment and planning when and where to shoot to supplying to TV, making a campaign video and legal considerations. Well written, and packed with illustrated practical advice, Harding combines a wealth of resources with firsthand examples of successful video activism.
"The global protest movement is growing because activists are learning to tell their own stories, to capture their triumphs on tape, and share them with others around the world. This book is about media that doesn't just cover activism, it is activism, a crucial part of the process of reclaiming public space and communities." —Naomi Klein
