Video Recording Technologies and Cameraman Auxiliary Equipment as an Integral Part of Achieving a Creative Idea in Audiovisual Art

The purpose of the research is to find out the development history of the technical component of audiovisual arts, namely the development of film and television cameras, video and sound recording devices, equipment for editing, colour correction and special effects; to study the components of the evolution of video recording technologies, the dependence of the possibilities of embodying creative ideas in audiovisual works on the current development of auxiliary camera equipment; to analyse the importance of the correct choice and use of the entire available range of shooting and auxiliary camera equipment by the operator. The research methodology is determined by the following methods: theoretical – for studying the relevant literature, scientific research and articles in professional periodicals; collecting and analysing information on the topic, generalisation and typification – for systematising technical and scientific material, selection and analysis – for studying the characteristics of filming and auxiliary equipment, generalising their impact on the implementation of the qualitative and creative components of the visual range, determining the interdependence of filming equipment and the latest technologies. The empirical method is used to describe the author’s experience of working as a cameraman using various filming and auxiliary equipment to create television content. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the influence of the development of camera equipment and auxiliary equipment on the possibility of implementing new expressive forms by the cameraman and achieving a unique pictorial character and style that will correspond to the creative director’s intention in an audiovisual work is analysed. Conclusions. In the course of the study, the components of the video recording technology development were identified; based on special technical publications and the author’s own practical experience, the author has highlighted in detail the dependence of the possibility of practical implementation of the creative idea on the availability of the necessary professional filming equipment, various specialised equipment and modern technologies.
