Will not these "books" include video cameras from the heavens?

10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The Judgment of the Dead
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books
The beast and the false prophet had already been thrown into the lake of fire prior to those books being opened, prior to the Great White Throne judgement. Therefore any reasonable and logical reading of the Bible would conclude that their judgement had preceded the Great White Throne judgement. The only judgement I am aware of that precedes this is the Throne of Christ at the end of the age of grace. That judgement is for Christians who have no possibility of being thrown into the lake of fire. However, it seems somehow the false prophet was judged at that time.
