Videotape is a means of recording images and sound onto magnetic tape as opposed to movie film or random access digital media. In most cases, a helical scan video head rotates against the moving tape to record the data in two dimensions, because video signals have a very high bandwidth, and static heads would require extremely high tape speeds. Videotape is used in both video tape recorders (VTRs) or, more commonly, video cassette recorders (VCRs) and video cameras. Tape is a linear method of storing information and, since nearly all video recordings made nowadays are digital, it is expected to gradually lose importance as non-linear/random-access methods of storing digital video data become more common.

Filmtips:
At the end of the day its all about editing, isnt it ?

I have to say, in all immodesty, that I have always been very happy with editing. Editing is true storytelling. The best part of filmmaking! and I love that bit.

Theres a old movie expression: in film you write something three times. you write when you write it. you write it when you shoot it. and you write it when you edit it.

Filmtips:
In filmmaking, the Rough cut is the second of three stages of offline editing. The rough cut is the first stage in which the film begins to resemble its final product. Rough cuts do not flow well and still undergo many changes before the release of the film.

If your video is too dark very frequent probleml ook for a brightness control to lighten it up. If necessary, then use the contrast adjustment to eliminate fading.


Underexposure due to backlighting is another frequent problem; it occurs when you shoot with a bright light like the sun or a window behind your subject.Software sometimes offers a lighting filter that lets you adjust this. Most programs also offer image stabilization filters that can work wonders with handheld shots, so give this a try as well.

For years, producing DVDs was the only easy way to share your videos; now you can share them online, or carry them with you on your cell phone or iPod. Remember that most sites won't let you upload videos longer than 10 minutes or larger than 100MB.

Narrative
This is how a story is organised in time and from a certain viewpoint .
It involves the unfolding of a story : a beginning and an end and “events” in the middle. This intrigue obeys certain rules: for it to develop, the initial situation needs to be modified. The narrative organises the story's space time.
It determines the order and the duration of this story both thanks to the shots and to the sequences. Most of the time it works with temporal jump cuts (what happened between two events is not described). It can use flash-backs or flash-forwards. It can also mark the simultaneity (notably by alternating editing) or repetition (often by a return to identical images).

Filminfo:
Aspect ratio describes the dimensions of video screens and video picture elements. All popular video formats are rectilinear, and so can be described by a ratio between width and height. The screen aspect ratio of a traditional television screen is 4:3, or about 1.33:1. High definition televisions use an aspect ratio of 16:9, or about 1.78:1. The aspect ratio of a full 35 mm film frame with soundtrack (also known as the Academy ratio) is 1.375:1.

Ratios where the height is taller than the width are uncommon in general everyday use, but do have application in computer systems where the screen may be better suited for a vertical layout. The most common tall aspect ratio of 3:4 is referred to as portrait mode and is created by physically rotating the display device 90 degrees from the normal position. Other tall aspect ratios such as 9:16 are technically possible but rarely used.

Essence of film
    Filmmaking – process of making a film. Filmmaking involves a number of discrete stages including an initial story, idea, or commission, through scriptwriting, casting, shooting, editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a film release and exhibition. Filmmaking is both an art and an industry. Films were originally recorded onto plastic film which was shown through a movie projector onto a large screen (in other words, an analog recording process). The adoption of CGI-based special effects led to the use of digital intermediates. Most contemporary films are now fully digital through the entire process of production, distribution, and exhibition from start to finish.
