Group: Filming & Editing in HD

  • In the UK and in Europe, we shoot on a format called PAL. In America, however, they shoot on a different format - NTSC.
  • Since technology has allowed cameras and televisions to shoot and display high definition (HD) quality en masse, the quality of photo and video has increased significantly.
  • The standard display size is 720 x 576, yet HD is 5x better quality, displaying images at 1900 x 1080.

The video camera that we are using shoots in full HD, recording at 25 frames per second, which is traditional of a video camera bought in the United Kingdom.

However, we are planning on shooting on a second camera - a digital SLR, which belongs to Chris. This camera records at 30 frames per second, more in line with American cameras. This means that if we shoot using both cameras, we cannot edit them together, but will have to edit them seperatly before exporting them together.
