What equipment is needed to shoot videos? I would be very grateful for the professional and detailed explanation and configuration.

Home video shooting: general household DV player, digital camera with video function (card machine or SLR).

Audio: The MIC that comes with the DV player or camera, or an additional directional MIC.

Lighting: the lights that come with the DV machine and the scene light.

Others: Handheld, or using an ordinary camera tripod.

Later stage: a computer. If it is a hard disk or flash memory DV player, the computer will only need a USB port.

For the software used, Premiere is relatively basic (of course, for home shooting, you can also use Live Video or the Movie Maker that comes with the system, etc.). Special effects require the use of After?Effect, maya, photoshop, fusion, nuke and other software.

Extended information:

The correct posture for holding the camera is that, like lifting most heavy objects, the best way is to use your legs to bear the weight, so it needs to be adjusted Position your feet to accommodate the following guidelines:

Hold the camera with both hands. The left hand holds the lens, while the right hand holds the body and controls the shutter.

Take a small half step forward and keep your knees slightly bent. This distributes your weight evenly across both legs.

Lift the camera and assume your normal shooting pose. For a digital SLR camera, hold the viewfinder in front of your right eye, while for a portable digital camera, hold it about 15cm in front of your face at eye level.

Clamp the sides of the body with both arms. The left forearm should remain completely vertical and not forward beyond the toes. Be sure to avoid leaning forward as this will cause camera shake.

Take deep breaths and press the shutter button as gently as possible between breaths.

Operation points for outdoor and interior shooting:

During the shooting process, the lighting must be matched with the ambient light source of the background, and try to imitate the ambient light effect of the background.

It is necessary to choose a background with high simulation and reasonable background proportion.

During the filming process, the characters’ expressions and movements must match the scene. It is best to combine movement and stillness.

Pay attention to the details of the design.

The selection of props should be combined with the background. Props should be proportioned appropriately and should have the same elements as the background.
