2) VIDEO EDITING

a) Basics of video cameras- their operations and application

The most important equipment in videography is CAMERA. We cannot
produce a video without a video camera and there are numerous options for us.

There are 3 types of camera we should focus on:

 Camcorders: A camcorder is a portable video camera and video recorder

in one package. Most types come with a zoom lens and autofocus.

 DSLR: If we want a camera which is also useful for taking photos, we

should go with a DSLR. These are very popular and frequently used in
videography. Whether we are an avid YouTuber, vlogger or an aspiring
filmmaker, a DSLR is the ideal tool for the job.
  Compact cameras: A simple 35 mm snapshot camera not having
interchangeable lenses or through-the-lens focusing but sometimes
having automatic focusing, exposure, and winding.
