Part 1- The Digital Cameras (10 min)
3 types of camera in the school
Still/video - good for images & importing, bad for sound
SD video - good for importing, bad for sound
HD camera - good for picture + sound, LONG IMPORT TIMES
Pass around and encourage experimentation with menus and settings. The more you know about the camera the less magic it is.

Four of my favorites all have something in common, the long tracking shot.

Massive Attack - Unfinished Symphony (longest? some un-choreographed?)
Pharcyde - Drop (reverse!)
Lil’ wayne - A Milli (choreographed?)
