ON THE SET

Brief account of learning to use the cameras and tripods, what filming terminology to use on set and good practice in editing. 

We learnt how to use the equipment, e.g. the Canon cameras, Mac computers and Manfrotto tripods, the different rules that come with using the equipment.

In our small groups we passed around a Canon camera, to try to understand how to handle the camera and how to put it all together, e.g. inserting the camera battery and memory card. When we passed the camera around we should say 'yours' and 'mine' to avoid the risk of dropping it. after this we then learnt how to successfully open the Manfrotto tripod and connect the camera to it. we also learnt how to 'bubble' using the spirit level to help make the camera balanced and in focus. We explored the camera such as how to focus the exposure on the camera, which is adjusted by moving the dial up and down

In the first photo, we were adding our live action section to our tracking shot. I have struck a match and put it on an ash tray, and this was to symbolise that the person was a smoker. in the second photo, we are discussing whether we wanted to change the lighting to make the room dark and use a flashlight when doing the tracking shot.
