Equipment

There is a range of accessories which can improve our job in shooting video. Camera stability is a hight priority because it will effect all of our shooting. Tripods are the ideal solution. Without the tripods our shooting will not stable such as we shooting during earthquake. This is not a joke. Tripod offer essential support to take steady pictures. A fluid head ensures smoother camera moves and level the shots. Monopods are not stable but save on weight.
Sound is also very important in shooting video. Video without sound is useless. The buit in microphones of the video camera have limited capabilities. Most video cameras have extra microphones sockets on its body. So please use extra microphone during shooting to obtain hight quality sound.
Headphones are essential to confirm what we are recording on the sound track, filters, lights, and etc are also very important during video shooting.

Function

• Pause mode, when we press the pause button the tape or the recording will halt. In this condition although the recording halts the drum is still rotate.

• The review facility is use to search visual and it allows tape to playback and view in the viewfinder. Some cameras allows us to check the last few seconds of a recording by pressing the button.

• The shutter speeds is an electronic device that enable us to record subjects that are moving faster.

Function

The white balance control will make sure that the colours of the scene are reproduced faithfully whether lit by daylight or artificial light. The white balance can be set autimatically or manually.

The auto focus system uses infra-red beam to adjust focus automatically during the shooting. Focus tends to be set on the nearest object. The cameraman can focus manually as well by turning the ring on the barrel of the lens and judging the focus by looking through the viewfinder of the camera.

In the record mode, the is roll around the recorder drum and start to register the recording. The counter keeps a tally of the amount of tape shot.

Smile, You Are on Promotional Video - Promote Your Network Marketing Business With Video By Erik Gifford

No doubt you've encountered some of the millions of short video clips that are floating around the Internet, either in your email inbox or on a video sharing site such as YouTube. Some, if not most, of these videos are posted purely for entertainment value. Video is also an invaluable resource for those who want to promote their business. If you have a network marketing business, you shouldn't overlook this method of promotion. Posting a video about your business really drives traffic to your site if it is done effectively.

Like article marketing, video marketing can be a very effective, cost-efficient way to drive traffic to your site. Many video sharing sites will even let you publish your clips at no cost. Because of that, this mode of promoting your network marketing business should not be overlooked. Take the time to learn how to fully capitalize on this opportunity, and you could soon see quality traffic flocking to your site in droves. Here are a few tips on how to use video clips to promote your network marketing business.

*Keep it short

The Internet is a wellspring of information, and most users want their information fast and in small, manageable bites. Rarely will a user take the time to read (or watch) all of the information available a topic of interest. Instead, he will scan the options and choose the one or two that are most likely to yield the information he wants. Make sure your clip is chosen by getting to the point fast. The entire clip should be no more than 2 to 3 minutes.

*Make it pretty

Aesthetics matter. Your choice of color scheme, background, motion graphics and even font can work either for or against you in terms of driving traffic to your site. Make sure your clip projects the kind of image you want for your company. Most likely these elements will also appeal to your target audience.

*Buy the sounds of it

If people are going to buy what you are selling, it's important, even critical, to ensure that your clip looks good and sounds great. Include sound, via narrator, to emphasize your chosen keywords, and you will greatly increase your chances of successful marketing message delivery. Successful narration will help keep peoples' interest long enough to hear what you have to say.

*Be friendly to your user

The Internet offers virtually endless choices for people looking for information. If your clip takes forever to load, chances are an Internet user will move on quickly. Be sure to use a format that has a small, quick-loading size, such as Flash.

*Set Your Videos Free

If your network marketing business is new or otherwise has low public recognition, it's not likely you'll get much traffic from search engines. Consequently, if your web video is only found on your website, it won't effectively drive traffic to your site. You need to attract the most watchers to your video as possible, and one of the best ways to do this is to submit them to as many video-sharing sites as possible. There is a domino effect in doing this: blogs, other websites, and publishers download your video clips and republish them. When that happens, your network marketing business's exposure increases exponentially.

Video marketing is one way to spread the word about your network marketing business. It often yields impressive results. Learn all you can about how to take full advantage of this technology, and your customers will thank you.

Video marketing is a very cost effective way of bringing prospects to you.Erik Gifford is a network marketing attraction marketing coach.

Function

Before shooting the cameraman should know his or her equipment. Theory only is not enough for video makers. Knows all about our equipment will make us very confident in our job. Fluent in our control of the camcorder leaves us free to concentrate on the creative aspects of video making. Think deeply before you start shooting.

The iris controls the amount of light passing through the lens to the image censor. It's usually under electronic control and can be operated manually or automatically.

The backlight compensator is used to set the iris when shooting into the light. The iris adjusts to give correct exposure for the subject. The background gets bleached out.

The low light control is used in poor light condition. By pressing it, will boosting the video signal or brighter the subject that we are shooting. But it will increase the picture 'noise'. It's means that the picture is 'grainy'.

Will be continued later.....

Understand

The main item of the video makers are 'camcorder'. Camcorder is the combination of video camera and video recorder to make a compact portable machine. There are many different models of camcorder available in the market.

Most camcorders have a zoom lens which allows to vary the size of shots during recording or shooting. This means that the subject appears larger or smaller as the shot proceeds. The camcorder also has a macro setting for shooting close up of small scale subjects such as ant and etc.

Camcorders also have built-in microphone to record the sound at the same time as the images. The sound level can be adjusted automatically and can be monitored during recording.

The electronic viewfinder can be adjusted with the eye of the cameraman. The image seen in the viewfinder is the same as the image seen by the camera's lens.

The other function of the camera will be detail later such as the function of iris, backlight compensator, low-light control, white balance control, auto focus system and etc.

Video Camera

The video camera is made up of two elements, the optics and the electronics. The optics section collects the light from the scene being photographed and focus it into a clear image. The electronics turn that image into electrical signals which can be recorded onto magnetic tape, disc, etc. The camera use a lens to focus the light, and virtually all video cameras use a zoom lens. This enable the camera to record many shots from a wide panoramic view to a tight close up without changing the lens. The light passes through an iris, a hole that automatically alters in size to ensure that the brightness of the image is correct. It's mean teh picture is not over or under exposed. Some cameras have a manual iris which can be adjusted. Bringing the picture into sharp focus, can be done manually or automatically. The final image is projected onto the camera pick up image called CCD or Charge Couple Device. This is the section where the electronic start. The CCD turns the image into electrical signals. The video camera also has a viewfinder. This viewfinder allows the cameraman to see what the camera lens is seeing. Video camera is also fitted with a microphone to record the sound.

How it works?

Visual images are converted into electrical signals, and then turned into radio waves before transmited over the air. The radio waves are picked up by TV receiver and reconverted into electrical signals which are then displayed as images by the tv picture tube. The sound of the visual or images is processed in the similar way.

In broadcasting a video cameras in studio picked up the image which focussed on it's pick up tube. The surface of picked up tube is very sensitive to light. In latest camera video the picked up tube was replaced by device called CCD or Charge Couple Device. The image turned into electrical signal and then converted to radio waves which are then transmitted over the air.

The television aerial picks up the broadcast signal and feeds into tv set. In tv set the sound is processed and send as output to the loudspeaker. While the video information is used to drive cathode ray picture tube in tv set.

Development of audio video

TV Broadcasting started in USA in 1939. After war work was pushing ahead to develop a colour tv system. The USA started the first regular colour service in 1951. Regular colour broadcasts started in UK in 1967. After war the development of satellites for long distance transmission took place.

Video recorders are also another invation. Until the early 60s all television programmes were live or made on film. In the 1950s both Ampex in USA and UK were keen to develop video recorder. The first video recorder was demonstrated by Ampex in 1956 and the machine became a broadcast standard. Philips launched the first domestic video recorder in 1971. Japan took over the market with the Beta format, launched in 1974 and later the VHS format, launched in 1976. Video discs followed in the early 80s.

History of Television

No one knows who actually invented television. But it probably started in 1873 when Louis May and Willoughby Smith, discovered the photoelectric effect. It is the ability of certain materials to convert light energy to electrical energy.

In 1880 Englishmen, Ayrton dan Perry, built a system called electric vision. With this system an image could be focused on an array of photocells which would each produced an electrical signal. The strength of the signal depending on the strength of the light falling on the photocell. Each of these photocells would be individually connected to a lamp in a similar array which would then glow with a brightness corresponding to the strength of the electrical current produced by its corresponding photocell. The system didn't work because the photocells could't produced enought power to light the lamps.

In 1884 Paul Nipkow from German, built a technic called scanning which allowed to send all the information required to build up a picture down just one pair of wires. In Nipkow's system the image was focused onto a revolving perforated disc. The holes were arranged so that each one passed across the image a little lower than the previous one. The effect was to allow the light from the object to pass through to the photocell as a series of strips across the object. In this way a signal, came out of the photocell. At the other end, a lamp was connected to the output of the photocell, and this was viewed through a similar spinning disc. Because the two discs were identical, and were spinning at identical speeds, an image of the original object could be built up. As both discs were spinning very fast, the eyes appeared to see the whole picture, and not just a series of lines. In the end Nipkow's system didn't work for the same reason as Ayrton and Perry's electric vision.

Early 20th century invention of amplifying valves and the ingenuity of John Logie Baird, make Nipkow;s mechanical ideas work in practice.
