Introduction to camera's alongside health and safety tutorial.

In today's lesson we where given a tutorial on the camera's. this consisted on the health and safety rules applied when using the camera's. this was done before taking the camera's out simply due to the fact of knowing how to use the camera's. we where taught the basic of how to use the camera's. these where things such as... turning the camera on, putting in the memory cards, taking in out the batteries and opening and closing the shutters. alongside the tutorial we had a presentation visually showing us the safety of using the camera's. one was not to use the camera's in bad weather conditions simply because the cameras cost up to 3 thousand pounds it will get damaged and will be costly to repair. we where also shown the tripod, this is what you put the camera on which allows it not to shake and can also be used for panning. we where also shown other techniques such as zooming however we where told not to do this as this is a hard trick to pull but we where still shown just in case. another we where told to o is to watch any footage back, this was less time consuming and it gives us an idea of what exactly we have filmed and if its correct. it also indicates anything that we haven't filmed and we need to do so. this was useful so we didn't loose any footage. this also helped us not shoot in bad lighting areas. overall the tutorial was very clear and we understood the health and safety rules.
