Metadata for Videography
Videographer: Patrick Smith
Participants: Matthew Knight and Ben Doleac
Instrumentation: voice, mandolin and guitar
Location: University of Alberta FAB 2-7
Date: Opening Scene while entering FAB 2-7: April 18, 2010
The rehearsal: March 23, 2010
Editing Program: Imovie
Video Cameras: Opening Scene: Zoom Q3
The rehearsal: Panasonic PV- GS320
Settings: Default for opening scene and beginning of rehearsal. For the section depicting Matthew Knight playing solo I used the “MagicPix” setting. According to the manual, “This function allows you to record color subjects in dark locations to stand out against the background… Recorded scene is seen as if frames were missed.”
Notes: It is quite evident that the image quality is better on the Panasonic. When the subject area is well lit the two cameras are comparable. However, when dealing with dark scenes the Zoom Q3 is a little grainy. I have not yet been able to test out the sound on the Zoom. However, with the Panasonic the sound quality is generally clear even though it would definitely benefit from having an external microphone attached to give more “dimension” to the sound. The “MagicPix” setting seems to brighten certain segments of the subject and record so that the image and the sound do not match up exactly. As the manual explains, the “Recorded scene is seen as if frames were missed.”
