Learning About The Camera

In my first lesson in the studio we learnt how to put a camera together, setting it up with its tripod. We also learnt the main functions of the camera so we would be ready to film for the next lesson. We were taught about White Balance, how to zoom and focus on an object so that it gives a clearer picture. I reviewed what I had previously been taught in one of my photography lessons about exposure. The aperture and shutter speed and how they need to allow the correct amount of light into the camera so that the film looks life like and not strange. We also learnt about the time code so we will know how many frames per second are being filmed and how many frames we have left whilst filming.
