Video Production by Steven Vance

In this post, I have the great joy of inviting my classmate Steven Vance, who is the author of the blog pregnancy for fathers. Steven is going share with us his insight in the video production field. This is what he has to say.

Video production is a growing aspect of America’s culture. People have started producing and editing their own movies by the thousands; whether for personal use or to try and grab their 15 minutes of fame on the internet through video sharing sites.

Spontaneous Video Recording

When a moment arises spontaneously that I want to capture, I will pull out my phone and start shooting. This is a great way for the average person to get everyday events and random act of comedy caught on video to; keep for personal recollection, share with friends, or share with the world via the internet.

Preplanned Recording

For the average person, taking quality video for important moments is much better than capturing video on a cell phone. For instance, many fathers have a higher quality video camera at the house to use in capturing family events. When shooting video for preplanned events such as a child’s birthday, Christmas, or other holidays, cell phone cameras are not good enough; and as it is preplanned, the father is able to bring a better camera to record the memories.

Video Editing

After a video has been shot, it is a good idea to edit the video to cut out parts that are unneeded/unwanted, put music to the images, or process the video in a way that it is more appealing to a large amount of people. Luckily most—if not all—computers today come with basic video editing software. The software I use is Windows Live Movie Maker. Movie Maker came with my computer’s operating system and is an easy and user friendly way to; make quick changes to videos, add in effects, and crop and/or combine several videos into one movie.
