- Title
Capturing Quality Dance Photos and Videos: Understanding Camera Equipment.
- Authors
Bedford, Diane Cahill
- Abstract
In the digital age, obtaining quality dance videos and photos is an important aspect of promoting oneself as an artist and documenting important creative work. Unfortunately, most dance artists never receive basic knowledge regarding their camera equipment in order to obtain such photos and videos themselves. Because many dance artists would benefit from learning how to correctly document dance on their own, it is important that dance artists be given the foundation to successfully document their work. This article focuses on discussing and understanding some of the basic functions of digital cameras and camcorders that will aid dance artists in achieving videos and photos that are focused, well lit, correctly colored, and capture the essence of the dance. In familiarizing themselves with the basic manual control options on video cameras and digital single lens reflex (SLR) (still cameras), dance artists can more easily obtain quality photos and videos to promote their choreography, company, school, or organization.
