Shooting video is as common as taking photos these days. Even the leading smartphone manufactures Apple pays a lot of attention on the function to meet the needs of consumers. However, to the movie with the effect of music video, we had to get the help of advanced video camera. The big size body and expensive price is not affordable to everyone.
These days, DSLR slightly arises in the area of video shooting. Take Canon as example: there are 7D, 5D, 60D that can be competent the job. The total cost of it is just over $1000, which is really cheap comparing with the professional Video Camera.
Almost all DSLRs can shoot HD video in 720P or 1080P, but it not means that it can take place of Video Camera. First of all, DSLR can't smoothly focus while moving. DSLR also has its advantage: the shallow focus. The Video Camera needs some special accessories to complete this job. Of course, the best point is that the cost is relatively cheap. In the Ironman 2, Canon EOS 5D Mark II was an important shooting tool in the scene of Histori Monaco Grand Prix. In the quality part, the compression of Video Camera is less. Meanwhile, the bigger censor and aperture of DSLR let the image more delightful.
Though the shooting effect of DSLR is great, it is still a mess if you can't handle the trick. First, you need to pre-design the content, pre-consult the scene, and guide the movement and sight of the actors. Of course, gear like tripod, follow focus, DSLR slider, steady cam, and DSLR stabilizer are also needed.
More important is the understanding of shutter and aperture. M mode and MF are strong recommended. The auto metering is very easy mistaking and wasting your time. Tripod with ball head will keep you from the trouble shaking.
It is a big problem for lens choosing as there are so many useful lenses. But generally, the focus length is the key parameter as the shorter it is, the more correct the focusing. So several prime lenses will be the best choices. To the specific ones, you need to know what you want to shoot first.
Video of different camera is various, which is mostly due to the definition of video. Currently, all the members of Canon video DSLRs are supporting 1920x1080 30fps NTSC video. Compared with DV, the biggest advantage is the stereoscopic (the depth of field).
