Video Production notes
Many great directors’ uses a style when they film a movie or a video here are three examples of Famous Directors that uses a style. Stanley Kubrick uses an element of surrealism and expressionism. Oliver Stone uses contemporary political and cultural Issues. Martin Scorsese uses concepts of guilt and redemption, machismo, and violence.

There are two things that you should have accesses to a video camera, you should know how to turn it on, load a tape, press record, etc. Patience camera work is a skill which requires lots of learning and practice.
Terminology:
1. Shot: All video is made up of shots. A shot is basically from when you press record to when you stop recording. Like the individual photos which make up an album, the shots get put together to make a video.
2. Framing and Composition: The frame is the picture you see in the viewfinder (or on a monitor). Composition refers to the layout of everything within a picture frame — what the subject is, where it is in the frame, which way it's facing/looking, the background, the foreground, lighting, etc.
3. VWS(Very Wide Shot): Shows the subject's environment.
4. WS(Wide Shot): Shows the whole subject.
5. CU(Close Up): Shows a feature of the subject.
6. Transition: Shots are linked (edited) in a sequence to tell a larger story The way in which any two shots are joined together
7. Pan: Side-to-side camera movement.
8. Tilt: Up-and-down camera movement.
9. Zoom: In-and-out camera movement (i.e. closer and more distant).

10.Iris(exposure): The opening which lets light into the camera. A wider iris means more light and a brighter picture.
11. White Balance: Adjusting the colours until they look natural and consistent.
12. Shutter: Analogous to the shutter in a still camera.
13. Audio: Sound which is recorded to go with the pictures.
The next topic were going to discuss is planning. Camera work is only one skill in a larger process — the goal of which is usually to produce a completed video, TV program, or presentation of some kind. To be good at camera work, you must have a clear picture of the whole process, and some idea of what the finished product should look & sound like.
If there's one thing that separates the amateurs from the pros, it's that amateurs "point and shoot", where a pro "plan and shoot". Obviously there are times when you don't have time to prepare before having to record sometimes the action begins unexpectedly, and you just have to go for it. In these cases, as far as possible, you plan as you go. It can't be stressed enough planning is everything.

Shoot Plan
1. If you're making a feature film, then the long-term plan is to gather all the shots required by the script/storyboard.
2. If you're making home videos, the long-term plan might be to create a historical archive for future generations
3. If you're making a one-off project you still have to bear in mind the long-term implications for the shoot.

Camera Functions
1. Although auto-functions usually perform well enough, there will be some situations they can't cope with bad light condition. In these circumstances you may be faced with unusable footage unless you can take manual control. More commonly, your shots will be useable but poor quality going in and going out.
