Defining more than 10,000 words and phrases from everyday slang to technical
terms and concepts, this dictionary of the audiovisual language embraces more
than 50 subject areas within film, television, and home entertainment. It
includes terms from the complete lifecycle of an audiovisual work from initial
concept through commercial presentation in all the major distribution channels
including theatrical exhibition, television broadcast, home entertainment, and
mobile media. The dictionary definitions are augmented by more than 600 illustrations,
1,600 etymologies, and nearly 2,000 encyclopedic entries that provide illuminating
anecdotes, historical perspective, and clarifying details that might be missed
by a more traditional dictionary. Usage notes provide further guidance where
terms might be confused or are commonly misused.
