Computer Kids director April Jones on digital videos Filming tips

Filming tips

There have been many articles written about the use of digital cameras in the nursery, but using a digital video camera is just as straightforward.

Most schools have now invested in some sort of digital video (DV) camera and so probably your hardest task will be prising it out of the hands of another member of staff. If you don't have access to one in your nursery, then perhaps now is the time to consider purchasing one. As with anything, you get what you pay for, but you can find good deals well below 300. If you are serious about editing what you film on a computer, consider a more expensive model with both DV in and out. This will allow you to record your edited video back on to DV tape for archive.
