Health & Safetey

Health & Safety Of Using a Camera:






In the health and safety tutorial we got shown how to use a professional cameras. We were introduced to the camera and all it features including, the memory card and the battery and where they are placed and how they are inserted.  We also learnt the different buttons and functions of the camera. We learnt how to use the zoom in and out button, how to turn the camera from auto to manual and vice versa, how to record and how to play back recorded footage. We then moved on to learn how to construct a tripod which is used to make sure the camera is secured. To make sure the camera is secure, we had to put to put the camera onto the tripod until it locked without causing any damage.  We got shown a few shots about framing and how the spacing of the frame and how it shouldn't be too above the subject or too far to the right or left, and how two shots and over the shoulder shots should look like.

Reminders and warnings told:
  • Never leave the camera out in the rain
  • Take care of the camera and use it safely
  •  If you change the settings on the camera it wouldn't work on final cut pro and our work would be useless. 
  • Never leave the camera in an unsafe place
  • Always return the camera in college at the time set - If the camera is taken out on weekends, then we have to bring it back at 9:00Am ON THE DOT!
  • The camera had a built in microphone but we could get an external one
  • The battery goes in the back and slides left to go in and right to get out
  • Everyone is responsible for the camera

BE CAREFUL!!!
