 How to make a Video
Production

In fact even for others from any

profession, they can make an amateur
Video Movie or an interactive CD using
only
A Multimedia Computer with necessary
programmes and a Digital Camera or
a Video Camera
with some knowledge of audio-visual production.
For example

Before actually knowing how to use the computer we
should know

What is Computer ?
The Computer system consists of
•HARDWARE  Software
•Hardware is the actual Software is set of
machine, its peripheral instructions required to
get the work done from
parts and accessories the Computer similar to
Human being.
– Basic structure Computer Programs
 What is Computer?

Human Body
Sensory organs Brain-Central
like ears, eyes, Processing Unit
nose, skin, processes the set of
tongue receive the instructions either taken from
inputs in the form of input device or from storage
Audio-Visual, touch and devices and gives the desired
odour form and send result to the output device or
them to brain as per the stores it in storage device
commands from brain.

Hands and Legs do Other organs work on predetermined

useful work called output programs stored in DNA and commands given
by brain.
We are not aware of the Language used for communication in
human body which is basically coded through electro-chemical
impulses.

December 7, 2021 Suresh Kulkarni 16

 Encoding Systems
Similarly, computer communicates within itself on similar principles
coded through electrical impulses called binary numbers.
Based on these set of numbers the set of instructions are developed
and are called Computer Programs.
Without them the computer will not be able to do any thing!

 Software - Languages
Based on this Binary Code, different Computer
Languages and programs are developed for internal and
external communication, either with computers, other
peripheral units or electronic equipments and human
beings.
Computer Languages: All these Languages require
Interpreter or compiler Program so that the computer
will understand them.

Type of Language Property Used for

Low level : Machine Language made directly from Binary Communicati
coded Numbers, on with
Microprocessor dependent machines and
human
beings
Low level :Assembly Language made from English words communicati
for Binary coded Numbers, on with
Microprocessor dependent human
beings
High Level Languages made from English words Developing
with its own syntex. For application
example FORTRAN, C, C++, software
December 7, 2021 Visual C++, BASIC, Visual
Suresh Kulkarni 20
BASIC etc.
 Software - Programs
Computer Programs: All types of programs for
multimedia use can be developed by using different
computer Languages.
There are two types of programs
– Tailor made
– Ready made

Type of Program Examples Used for

System software: Operating Windows, Linux, MAC Computer System
System, Drivers, Compilers
General Purpose packages MS- Office- Word, For administration
Excel, Access, Paint and general use
Multimedia Packages Corel Draw, 3Dmax, Media persons
Maya, Adobe
Photoshop, Premier,
Flash, Screen play
writer, Budgeting,
scheduling, media
player, FCP, Protools
etc.
