    Whew.. you may need to enter a Media College to get all that.

    I don’t think there is enough room or time to tell you. If you want to find out about this type of media then you need to go to your local library and read read, and read more, that will give you an idea, then a few years in collage, then training in your chosen field, once you have done all that, then you start to learn how to do it. if you ask anyone in media they will tell you that you never stop learning. think how much films/TV and video have changes over the last few years.

    there are sites that will give you a very basic idea on how to achieve some of the effects you are asking about,

    try

    you will be surprised who gives advice there.

    Good luck

    Well i can answer some of these without typing a short novel trying to explain it all to you!

    ok..well first question. There are many different types of camcorders out in the world. Second question, The lighting in movies and TV shows are COMPLETELY different to home videos.
    A: because movies and tv shows most likely have high budgets and go and buy a easy $100 000 lighting kit (not quite sure of that figure but $100 000 seems pretty good lol)
    B: most home videos don’t have a lighting kit. most likely its natural/ambient lighting.

    To create home videos that look like films well..you might want to go to college to learn how to do that. but basically you don’t just shoot the movie with one camera and one extended shot (unlike the home videos of little billy opening his Christmas presents) You take many different shots from all angles. Then it comes down to editing..capturing all the video from all cameras and putting it in order to make a more appealing movie.

    How to capture photos or video’s? well basically what i said above. But if you mean capture onto the computer. well you need some pretty complicated editing software with a MASSIVE hard drive and a whole lot of RAM. usually this is captured with a cable called Firewire cable. (not sure if they use that in blockbuster movies) but basically capture video with firewire if you have a DV Tape camera. But now days we are getting cameras that are HDD cameras. which basically the video saves straight onto a hard drive. No capturing time is needed, just click and drag. This is much better quality.

    I think this is about all i can answer lol..
