Popularity of TV • As the popularity for TV grew, manufacturers were able to create camcorders • TV quality was then improved • Now it is referred to as: Video
Video vs. Film • Video • picture quality is course • color sometimes lacks a richness • less flexibility in sound editing • Film • much more expensive to shoot & process • less tolerant of different light levels • color balancing is time-consuming & expensive • titles & effects must be created separately • editing requires negative cutting
Video Production • Preproduction • Production • Postproduction
Preproduction • Everything you do BEFORE actual shooting begins • Scripting • Scouting locations • Gathering cast & crew • Planning production equipment • often longer & more complicated than the production phase Photo: http://avirtualdominica.com/piratesdominica/images/castingflyer.jpg
Production • The actual shooting of the material that will eventually become your final product • Important responsibilities are shared by the: • Director • Videographer • Production Designer Photo: http://twilighters.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/31355468.jpg
Postproduction • When shooting is done, you do not yet have a program, but a series of footage • You then select the shots you want to include, assemble them in order, add music & sound effects & create title & visual effects • This is also called editing Photo: http://www.cravingtech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Adobe-Premiere-Elements-8.jpg
