Video in Development: Filming for Rural Change

This book provides information on the production and use of video as an integral part of development activities. From the Introduction: "The book was written mainly to inform rural development professionals, practitioners, and decision-makers in a variety of organisations - from NGOs [non-governmental organisations] and farmer associations to government departments and research and educational institutions - about the diverse uses of video in development. Specifically, it seeks to give decision-makers greater insight into the subject in order to support decisions on the strategic use of video in development. As such, it draws extensively on practical experiences to illustrate the potential of this powerful communication tool for development."
