RESEARCH - Health and safety tutorial

In the first lesson of filming we were given the oppurtunity to work with the specialist media equipment. We found this very benificial as it enabled us to use the skills we have learned into our own project.

Before we started filming we were given a professional video camera and a tripod. Once we was able to use the camera properly and effectively we were given the chance to film a parody for a thriller.

During class we have learned how to:
-Fit a camera in place on the tripod so that it was stable once we started filming
-Zoom in and out
-Focus the lens
-Use the appropriate buttons when necassery
-Adjust shooting modes for different settings and lighting.
