ELEMENTARY CINEMATOGRAPHY(INTRODUCTION)

To edit video using iMovie, you must first shoot some video, which is why i have nothing to do with your iMovie software.
Instead, this article begins with advice on buying and using a camcorder,
getting to know the equipment, and adopting professional filming techniques. After
all, teaching you to edit video without making sure you know how to shoot it is like
giving a map to a 16-year-old without first teaching him how to drive.since 2005 or so, the camcorder
industry has radically changed. Sales of tape camcorders have plummeted. People are
using their digital still cameras to record video, and leaving their bigger, heavier, less
spontaneous camcorders at home.
The camcorder industry has responded by trying to make their new models smaller,
lighter, cheaper—and unshackled by the limitations of tape (like waiting to rewind).
Nowadays, camcorders can record onto built-in hard drives (just like the ones in
iPods); onto removable memory cards (just like the ones in digital cameras); or onto
miniature, burnable blank DVDs.
Fortunately, iMovie ’08 can import and edit the video from almost all of these new
camcorder types. Unfortunately, embracing one of these new camcorder formats
means sacrificing some features and picture quality along the way.
This article will take you through the ever-more-complicated jungle of camcorder
types, their pros, and their cons.but for now prepare yourself as i will be taking you through elementary cinematography
see you nextweek,bye for now!!!!
