If you can, avoid the older analog video cameras; Go Digital
Avoid Automatic Settings; Use Manual Instead: Focus Ring Zoom Ring Aperture, Shutter Speed, Gain
Adjust Color Balance (Very Important)
Sound - Never trust the on-camera Microphone Always use an external boom mic,
or Use a clip mic on your talent

Digital Video Cameras (Camcorders) Camera takes care of the digital process;
not as much of a processing burden to the computer.
Store images on Tape A few burn directly to DVD Requires Firewire connection so computer
can “download” the video. Focus Camcorder Tips on pg. 319

Editing Techniques:Editing Techniques:
Always conduct editing in this order:1. Arrange clips in a proper sequence2. Apply Visual Effects to desired clips3. Create your Titles - make sure they don’t blend into the
background4. Apply Transitions - don’t get too fancy5. Insert sound effects and background music6. Make Chapter Markings for iDVD

Editing Tips:Editing Tips:Remember: Sometimes a cut is more effective than a transition Always keep Timing in mind
Do the math between shots: a 1-second transition between two 3-second
clips creates a 5-second sequence. A cut between two 3-second clips creates a 6-
second sequence. One second can take an eternity
Try to Match-Action between shots - Avoid “Jump-cuts” where action repeats itself unnaturally.
If using still photos, apply the Ken Burns Effect: don’t zoom in too tight Make the motion slow

The Quicktime Movie Format:The Quicktime Movie Format: Why export to Quicktime?
Place a Movie Clip on a PowerPoint slide Place a Movie Clip on a Web Page
Quicktime is a Library of software CODECs: For Video
Sorenson 3, Motion JPEG, & MPEG-4 are lossless (the best) DV should only be used for full-motion, full-sized video.
For Sound - IMA 4:1 and AAC is Lossless For MIDI (computerized “sheet music”)
Quicktime has built-in instrument “voices” WARNING - Not an actual sound file! DO NOT import into
PowerPoint - IT WON’T WORK!
For VR - (QTVR was discussed in previous chapter lectures)
