Reddit mentions of Making Video Dance: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Dance for the Screen

Glad I could help!

I'm glad you asked about books. Advice from the internet (including mine :)) has its limits. Here is what I recommend [Referral Links]:

• The first book I recommend for beginners is: "[How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0051NHJFU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0051NHJFU&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21)". Here is the trailer for the book: http://youtu.be/jF0z9k93Y9Q
  
  
• Since you're most interested in dance video and not cinematic storytelling, the next book I recommend is "[Making Video Dance: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Dance for the Screen] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0415379504/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0415379504&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21)"
  
  
• If you have time, and really want to get into cinematography, your school library will probably have the standard texts, such as Mascelli's "[Five C's of Cinematography] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/187950541X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=187950541X&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21)" and Ascher's "[Filmmaker's Handbook] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0452297281/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0452297281&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21)"
  
  
• You should also read up on sound - the sound primer I recommend is "[The Location Sound Bible] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1615931201/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=1615931201&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21)"
  
  Again, hope this is helpful and best of luck!
