Video 1. Understanding resolution
- Megapixels have nothing to do with resolution of video
- there are only 2 resolutions in video. 1080 HD & 720 HD. VERY IMPORTANT.
1080: 1920 x 1080 which equals to 2 mega pixels of photography.
720: 1280 x 720 which equals to 1 mega pixel.
This means normal videos being 30 fps (frame per second), there are 30 1 or 2 megapixel photos (frames) in one second.

Video 2. Frame Rate
- frequently used frames: 30 or 24 frame per second, but occasionally uses 60 also.
24 frame makes video look more film-like. Like Hollywood movies

Video 3. Understanding the challenge of shutter speed.
- When shooting 30 fps, 1/30 shutter speed is slowest possible. If 1/1000 was used, there will be a blank in between each frame.
- Frequently used shutter speed being 1/30 or 1/90. Occasionally 1/125.

Video 4. Getting the right exposure.
- Manual exposure is better for DSLRs.
- Histogram and light meter are used to check exposure.
- the only limit becomes the shutter speed.
- zoom lens is not ideal because of the smaller aperture range. Prime lenses are recommended.
- change of ISO and neutral density filter can help with exposure also.
