Camera Work

Camera Work

In my first media lesson we had a tutorial of how to set-up the tripod and dismantle it successfully. In our groups we  took it in turns to get to know the tripod. I thought it was quite simple to set-up  i now know how to use the tripod. We were also shown how to use the tripod for low angle shots, panning shots and high angle shots. We were also told about when carrying the tripod to make sure its folded in, in case of it catching on the wall and breaking for example. Ms Slater told us that once the camera is in the right position you do not touch it because you will get camera shake, that's why you have to be confident with the positioning before you start shooting. When we had finished with the tripods, we then got to know our cameras,where the battery's go,the buttons on the camera and where the charger will plug in. Then we placed them on charge ready for use in the upcoming lessons.
