Learn what makes great looking images in film, music videos etc. It's not always the camera but how you design the shots. In this first overall tutorial I try to explain in general terms what designing a shot entails. This can be applied with any video cameras, as well as digital and film cameras. It's the basics of good photography. Special thanks to Beverley Marquis for starring in the video. Shot using the Red One Camera and Canon XH-A1.

GREAT PRESNTATION; AND COMPELLING, . . so , using these techniques, is it possible to shot high quality on a easy to use HD camcorder ? . my goal is to shot 6-7 second, short spots (at my office of clients), for insertion into stuido commercials, . . if my office well lit, etc, can I get a braoadcast quality out of a simple HD camcorder like the XA A1, ??

[polcan99]

Yup you can. Right now the term "broadcast quality" just simply means good footage. Doesn't matter what camera it's shot on. So much stuff on TV right now is shot on tiny GoPro Cameras or even Iphones.

Ko dont havé an iris, so how can I focus a regular gf video camcorder?

[superdramaqueen21]

OMG!!! I totally wish that I had have found your videos when I was still in Intro to Cinematography! We read a lot of books on capturing the scene, but I learn better from being able to see what it should look like and doing things hands on. You have taught me so much!!! If I had have found this last semester then I totally would have had better films. You Are Amazing!!! Keep up the Great Work! :-)
