The built in camera on a Mac requires some form of software to control it. There are several applications (in the Applications folder) that come with the Mac that will do this. The most fun one is PhotoBooth. You can also use iChat to video chat with friends. In iMovie click on the camera icon in the lower left section and this will open a window showing your camera's output. Click on the capture button and record your video directly into iMovie.
