I think online videos have lowered the standards of television production because when people upload video online people watch them on the likes of YouTube rather than on a television. In 2008 a survey was carried out and it was believe that children aged between 2 and 11 watched 118 minutes of online videos per person throughout a month. Teenagers aged between 12 and 17 watched 132 minutes of online videos and people 18 plus watched 99 minutes, teenagers are by far the worst by watching 14 minutes more of online video per person per month that children aged 2 to 11. They also watch an extra 33 minutes more of online videos of those over 18.
During 2009 the internet and mobile phones displayed that TV viewing was still overriding but online video viewing and usage was up by 53 percent from the same time the previous year and the amount of people watching videos through their mobile phones was also up 52 percent.
When making homemade footage you use a simple handheld camera which is of a low quality whereas professional equipment that is used to make professional footage is made of exceptional quality. When making a homemade piece of footage you don’t have much equipment, probably a handheld camera and maybe a tripod, but professionals they have equipment to put the camera on like a camera dolly so the camera can move without messing up the filming and it can film movement well. As well as a camera dolly professionals will have a boom mic so the people in the footage will be able to speak in their normal voice, the boom mic is placed just above their heads and will pick up their voice, they will also have lighting. Homemade footage will not have a camera dolly, a boom mic or lighting so therefore homemade footage will never compete with professional footage. When filming homemade footage the filming will have to take place from a stationary position, if you film while moving the footage would then end up unsteady and of a bad quality. The people who are in your footage will not have a boom mic so they will have to talk loudly so the camera can pick up their voices, as for lighting homemade filming you will not have lighting so if your filming outside you would have to rely on the sunlight, and if you were filming inside you would have to reply on the lighting that is in the room.
The editing programmes used to edit your homemade films are either windows movie maker, or programmes you have downloaded from the internet so therefore the quality isn’t at its best and also the person editing homemade footage are not professions they are just normal people like me and you so therefore the editing will not of a great deal. Professional editing will be a good quality because there is a professional editor who edit professional’s footage and make it to its best ability. Professional editors have profession software to edit the footage on for example, they can edit footage on apple mac computers which will have software such as Logic Pro, another profession editing software is corel video studio and there is many more that professionals use.
Homemade footage you can upload to internets sites such as YouTube or Facebook where your friends can see the footage, but you will not make any money out of posting your videos, but profession videos can go on to being on television, or in cinemas and on DVD, not so much online, if they do go online then some of the time its only clips of the footage because if the whole of the footage goes online by someone who the footage doesn’t belong to there will be copyright issues.
