Equipment
Mini DV
For professional use, use a Mini DV camera. These cameras are catered to high quality
video productions and rely on a tiny cassette tape in order to capture footage.
DVD-R
For quick and easy access, use a DVD-R camera. Simply insert a blank DVD-R disc into
these cameras and let the recording begin. When finished, you can place it right into
your
DVD player and watch the footage.
Hard Drive
Never deal with tapes or DVDs again by recording with a Hard Drive Video Camera. The
built-in hard drive provides enough space for hours of footage and can easily transfer to
your computer.
SD Cards
Exchange the media from a digital camera to video camera by recording directly on an
SD card. These cameras are great for quick shots and SD cards are relatively cheap.

Film Making Stages
Pre-production — Preparations are made for the shoot, in which cast and film crew are
hired, locations are selected, and sets are built. This is also the stage in which the ideas
for the film are created, rights to books/plays are bought, etc.
Production —The raw elements for the finished film are recorded.
Post-Production —The film is edited; production sound (dialogue) is concurrently
(but separately) edited, music tracks (and songs) are composed, performed and recorded,
if a film is sought to have a score; sound effects are designed and recorded; and any other
computer-graphic 'visual' effects are digitally added, all sound elements are mixed into
"stems" then the stems are mixed then married to picture and the film is fully completed
("locked").
