Features: "DV" these two English letters, as they condense the initials of "digital imaging" and a certain intangible fashionable aura, have become a symbolic emblem pursued by contemporary China's art "angry youth" and white-collar "petite bourgeoisie." Yet, in this widespread surge of hype, the true value of DV has become blurred. This book is the first domestic publication specifically written for the masses of folk video enthusiasts, serving as a popular science reader on DV knowledge. It describes the development trends and cultural attitudes of contemporary DV culture in an accessible language, introduces the history of civilian camera equipment and editing devices, the cross-era advantages of digital imaging, and the basic key points that different types of users should pay attention to when selecting equipment. Moreover, through vivid and lively examples, it guides DV enthusiasts through the entire process—from pre-shooting to post-production—until the birth of an independent work. This is not a formal tutorial from a film school or other specialized institutions, but if you are clear that your passion for DV stems from a love for life rather than merely chasing some fashionable trend like "willow catkins carried by the wind," this book can at least help you firmly grasp the chisel to carve time.
