DV Filmmaking: from start to finish (Chapter 1)
Digital Video: Film was seen as the better medium to film movies as it had better quality, (even though alot of independant film makers could not afford it)while Analog video was cheap but ugly, lacked color, images were flat, and the color did not look natural. Enter the age of the Digital Camera/Mini DV. New DV cameras such as Prosumers blurred the lines between high-end consumer equipment and low end professional gear. The digital camera followed with affordable editing systems and created opportunities for independant film makers.
Digital Cameras often preceeded non-linear editing which uses digital technology. With this someone can skip to a scene and edit a movie with Apple cut pro for example. Linear editing on the other hand required someone to fast forward to a scene everytime. *Some people shoot movie with film (beleiving its better and use non-linear editing).
It was much more cost effective to use digital equipment, as opposed to film which could cost more than a hundred dollars to shoot with and go through the stages of editing. Plus you may be satisfied with the result of what is shot with film, as opposed to shooting with DV in which you can immediate see what was shot.
Chapter 13
Film, video, animation consists of still images
Some of the first artists like Chuck Jones created still images on cells of "acetate" (clear sheets) layed on top of one another for animation fuctioning like the frames of film/ video.
Including stills does not make a project a slideshow
When film to shoot stills the plane of the camera must be identical to the plane of the photo or else some angles may not be the correct size.
Digital Editing Software has motion control features as opposed to expensive methods used to record clean shots with film.
"Keyframes" are important frames where changes take place (i.e. a shot with Elmer Fodd pointing a gun at Daffy Duck, followed by a shot where Daffy's hat is turned sideways, with a hole in it.) require the technique of tweening in which the in-between frames are filled in, relating to techniques in DV Filmmaking.
