Nothing is left to chance, everything is controlled. Who stands or moves where, what is said, how the lighting is set, a script, the works. When it comes to editing they will be similarly at the mercy of whatever was captured and will be forced to construct something from that.Īs we move up the scale and get to the total pro we have absolute control being exercised over every little detail of the process. He or she will be exercising zero control over any part of what is happening on either side of the camera. I am going somewhere with this! really! One of the key differences between the amateur videographer and the pro is the subject of control and this applies to shooting, editing the whole shebang.Īt the very amateur level the person shooting the video will most likely be shooting in auto mode on the cam and will be shooting whatever is infront of him or her.

OK, so by including this article in the Weekly Roundup I don’t want you to get the impression that here at the I’m starting to go all technical on ya’ll!
