Abstract
Video can be very daunting to the uninitiated. When the authors started using the equipment they had had no formal instruction, but had to rely heavily on the instruction manuals and basic photography skills. They therefore learnt by trial and error, but even so the end result has been presentable. This article aims to assist beginners in purchasing and using video equipment for the first time so that they can benefit from the authors' experiences.
