Using An HD Camera For The First Time.

Yesterday, to film our ideas for the music video that we're creating to the song I Feel Free by the band Cream, we used HD cameras for the first time instead of a mini-dv camera. I found the HD camera very different to the mini-dv for reasons such as the HD camera being easier to use as it's less complicated, doesn't use a tape which a hassle and it's also more portable. Using a tape is a hassle because firstly, you must buy one and as they're small they are hard to use; secondly, it's easy to record over existing footage and this can result in losing important footage.

After filming what we needed, the next step was to upload the footage that we had created onto the computer. This was very easy and straight forward and although it took a long time to upload to iMovie, most likely because the footage was HD, it was still and easy process and compared to the mini-dv cameras, the HD cameras are much better and i'm glad to be using them this year over the mini-dv cameras that we used last year.
