Shooting and Editing Video for Multimedia

Question : Discuss several considerations in shooting and editing video for multimedia. What techniques would you use to produce the best possible video, at a reasonable cost? Which of these techniques apply to all video, and which apply specifically to multimedia?

Answer : 

Before begin to shoot and edit video for multimedia, the first thing you need is to come out with a storyboard and a good quality of camera to shoot a video with a technically capable video editor. Therefore, you need a computer with fast processor and lots of RAM as when you editing video, the software will consume lot of RAM and with fast processor, your computer will not hang during the editing progress. 

In addition, the lighting that available or required for shooting is needed in order to provide the best output of the video. Additional lighting should be added if it is needed. Besides that, color issues as well as camera angles also play an important character in shooting and editing video. Lastly, check the background noise such as traffic jam before start to shoot video. If could not avoid, turn the speakers loudly and to make it clear. 

In addition, I would recommend using a digital camera instead of DSLR video camcorder. With good techniques on recording a video and editing software, even though a digital camera also able to produce a good video clip. Thus, try to use our environment as the natural lighting system instead of renting expensive lighting system from the studio.
