The Dictionary of Film and Broadcast Terms by Edmund Penney
This dictionary is a comprehensive lexicon of the language used in the television, film and radio industries and is the only available reference of its kind. If you need to know what a day-for-night show is ...or where the lamphouse is on a professional projector ...or what a dead synch does for a film, this is the place to look. The Dictionary of Film and Broadcast Terms incorporates and defines these and more than 2,500 other such terms in a handy A-Z format from ambient lights[t] to zeppelin windscreen.
