Digital Video: Camcorder Features and Shooting Tips Digital video camcorders and nonlinear editors have changed everything. Now a $500 DV camcorder and a laptop PC can serve as a full-feature video production studio. This module explains DV technology, covers legacy analog video issues, and lists some characteristics to look for when purchasing camcorders. The future is high-definition video. Since high-def is still a bit out of reach for most student and school budgets, I’ll only touch on it and will introduce the first prosumer HD-style camcorders and the software that allows you to edit that video in Adobe® Premiere® Pro. To make an excellent video production, your students need to start with high-quality raw material—the original footage. No amount of clever, whiz-bang editing can turn mediocre raw video into a dazzling final product. The old computer-programming adage applies: garbage in, garbage out. In the TV world, that adage has a slightly different twist: You can't fix it in post. That is, postproduction techniques will not resurrect reels of video junk. To ensure your students start their projects with high-quality raw material, have them follow the 20 video shooting tips in this module plus the expert advice given at its conclusion. Module Overview Topics covered in this module: • Fundamentals of digital video • DV camcorder features • Limitations of analog camcorders • High-definition video and film features • Camcorder shooting tips • Advice from a TV news chief photographer
0 Module 2 Camcorder Features and Shooting Tips Shooting and Capturing Great Video Assets Fundamentals of Digital Video The message for your students is that DV changes everything. In the old days (a few years ago), analog was it. DV was ridiculously expensive and definitely not a budget video production option. Now, for virtually any student project, DV is the way to go. Yes, there are some analog camcorders, notably high-end Beta SP, that look better, but DV solves so many problems and is so easy to work with, it’s the pragmatic choice for all student projects. Analog Issues An analog video signal is a continuous waveform. Small disruptions to that otherwise smooth, continuous signal lead to degradation in image and color quality. Simply dubbing (recording) an analog tape to another tape results in some quality loss. With each additional dub—each added "generation"—images look less defined, colors become increasingly washed out, and the pictures get grainy. Audio quality also suffers some degradation with each generation. In tape-only editing systems, to make simple scene transitions— such as dissolves—or to add special effects—such as showing videos in moving boxes—means doing multiple edits or recording passes. Each pass adds more video "noise" to the tape. Editors using analog tape machines have to plan carefully to avoid creating projects with obvious shifts in video quality from one section to another. Digital Makes All the Difference DV makes generation quality loss a thing of the past. DV is a binary signal. A stream of ones and zeros. Unlike an analog signal, which has a wide range of data possibilities and many ways for electronic
