Shooting
• “Get it right in the camera”– #1 time-saving and effort-saving technique
• Video camera microphones often pick up too much extra noise– Can buy an external mic at Radioshack
• If your camera has a microphone input
– Built-in microphone might work fine for you

Shooting Tips
• Off-center subjects– Rule of thirds
• Vary long, medium and close shots
• Zoom = BAD– A little very slow zoom – ok
• If not using a tripod, prop yourself on furniture and walls for stability
• Use camera motion sparingly
![Page 5: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Shooting: Tips
• Unintended motion can ruin your video
• For stability– Sit– Lean against a wall– Hold the camera with both hands– Find a level place to park your camera– Use motion stabilization, if this is a feature of
your camera
![Page 6: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Shooting: Rules for Motion
1. Don’t use motion to move from shot to shot
• In recording mode: stop; reframe the video, and then reshoot – don’t pan
![Page 7: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Shooting: Rules for Camera Motion
• If you must use motion (Pan):1. Never pan back and forth
2. Pan from the waist and move your body• Don’t use your hands or wrists
3. When following a subject, try to keep him in the back third of the frame
4. Shoot for a few seconds while stable at both the beginning and end of the motion shot
5. Use the horizon as a horizontal cue
![Page 8: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Shooting: Tilt
• Never tilt up and down– Tilt in one direction and then stop
• Tilt at the waist– Using your hands will introduce shake into the
picture
![Page 9: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Shooting: Zoom
• Get to know your zoom controls in advance
• Zoom slowing to the desired framing, and then stop, even if it’s not ideal
• Disable digital zoom
![Page 10: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Shooting: Lighting
• Shoot with the sun to your back whenever possible
• Use camera’s preprogrammed AE modes for sunlight, sports, spotlight and similar environments
• Avoid backlit subjects
![Page 11: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Shooting: Sound
• Turn off all background noise you can– TV off!
• Use headphones to better gauge sound quality
• Use a directional microphone
![Page 12: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Shooting: Sound
• There are several reasons why the built-in camera microphone may not be adequate– Omni-direction– Attached to the camera, it can pick up camera
noise– Headphones can help you hear what the
camera is picking up
![Page 13: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Shooting
• Audio– Can split from the video and “overlayed” over
another part of the video– [example]
![Page 14: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Transferring to your computer
• Also called Capturing• From camera, usually by cable
– Firewire (IEEE) or USB• Sony calls firewire i-Link
• Confirm the camera is on• Switch the camera from “record” to “vcr” mode
– Mode is also called play, review …

Transcoding
• Most editing programs are able to output your final video into a format your audience can view (i.e. DVD)
• The process of transforming video from one format into another is called transcoding
• The most common transcoding that most people will do is to transform captured digital video into a DVD-compliant MPEG-2 format
![Page 43: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Publishing
• Most entry level and some profession programs have VCD and DVD mastering tools
• Programs designed specifically for these tasks:– Apple iDVD– Roxio DVD Creator – Nero
![Page 44: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Editing Steps
1. Add clips to timeline• Choose parts of the clips to include
2. Add transitions3. Add titles4. Publish5. Transfer to media
• Sometimes done while publishing
Can also often add musicCompress either in Save or Export step
![Page 45: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Editing: Publishing
• Allows you to pick options for– Output formats– media
• Media– Back to camera– CD– VCD– DVD– To VHS tape– Can store small video files on a flash drive
![Page 46: Digital Video Faculty Innovating with Technology project Gateway Technical College Spring, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56649dc95503460f94abffd6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Compression takes awhile
• Think about how much data we are manipulating– A single picture (frame) has hundreds of
thousands of pixels 640*480=307,200
– 29.97 frames per second for television

Other Video Techniques
• Webcams
• Adding to PowerPoint– Linking, not inserting
• Using Gateway’s streaming server Screencast videos
