What will be an ideal response?

Step 1: Select a DV CameraDV cameras range from inexpensive consumer versions to high-end DV camera models that support Blu-ray or HDV standards. Many mobile devices allow you to record digital video that you later can transmit to your computer or email from the device. When selecting a DV camera, consider features such as zoom, sound quality, editing capabilities, and resolution.?Step 2: Record a Video With most DV cameras, you have a choice of recording programs that include different combinations of camera settings. These programs enable you to adjust the exposure and other functions to match the recording environment. You also have the ability to select special digital effects, such as fade, wipe, and black and white.?Step 3: Transfer and Manage Videos You can connect most video cameras and mobile devices to a computer using a USB port. With many devices, you can transfer the videos to a media sharing or an online social network. Before doing this, however, consider the frame rate and video file format. The frame rate of a video refers to the number of frames per second (fps). A smaller frame rate results in a smaller file size for the video, but playback of the video will not be as smooth as one recorded with a higher frame rate. A video file format holds the video information in a manner specified by a vendor.?Step 4: Edit a Video When editing, you first split the video into smaller pieces, or scenes, that you can manipulate easily. Most video editing software automatically splits the video into scenes at locations that you specify. After splitting, you should delete, or prune, unwanted scenes or portions of scenes. You can crop (or resize) scenes, and add logos, special effects, or titles. Special effects include warping, changing from color to black and white, morphing, or zoom motion. Morphing transforms one video image into another image over the course of several frames of video. The next step is to add audio effects, including voice-over narration and background music. Using many video editing programs, you can add more tracks, or layers, of sound to a video in addition to the sound that the video camera or mobile device recorded. Adding audio tracks enables you to set a mood by providing background music or sounds. In the final step, you use video editing software to combine the scenes into a complete video by ordering scenes and adding transition effects. Transition effect options include fades, wipes, blurs, bursts, ruptures, and erosions.?Step 5: Distribute a Video Some mobile devices allow you to upload video directly to video sharing and online social networks, as well as to send a video message. You can save digital video to media such as a DVD or Blu-ray Disc and package it for individual distribution or sale.
