Introduction to camera skills

In our lesson we where introductory to the cameras we would be working with during our Thriller filming. In this lesson we learnt the safety, and the correct ways in which to use the camera.

 inserting the memory card; We where given two memory cards which hold approx 2hours of filming, these are placed into slots A and B... both of them should be in both slots in case one runs out of memory it will automatically switch to the second slot.

  inserting the battery correctly; when inserting the battery, you must slide it into place towards the right of the camera

To put the camera on to the tripod; make sure it is securely on so it does not fall off during filming.

To adjust the tripod, release the locks on the foot and pull or push depending on the length you desire the securely lock into place.
