This chapter teaches readers how to shoot videos for news and feature stories.
To begin one must knowhow the different digital cameras are categorized.
Brigg’s seperates the cameras into two categories: 1 CCD and 3 CCD (CCD = charge coupled device).
These measures tell you whether the camera has one computer chip or three computer chips. Cameras use these chips to process color and, as you might suspect, having three is better than one. As a result, 3 CCD cameras produce much higher quality video but are also more expensive. A 3 CCD camera costs $1,500-$5,000 while a 1 CCD camera can be had for less than $1,000.
Other features that Brigg’s highlights in order to produce professional videos are: a charged battery and ample tape, as well as, external microphones, external lighting devices, a tripod and headphones.

On top of that, Brigg’s explains how features like zoom, focus and exposure are important in providing viewers with the clearest, most detailed image. Moreover, having a good audio source is an underestimated feature in producing a quality video.
Later in the chapter, Brigg’s explains to readers how important it is to plan the shoot in order to produce the best shot possible. This step involves using a wide-angle, medium angle or close-ups shots, all of which can be used accordingly when shooting.
