RESEARCH: Health and Safety tutorial

We were taught how to use the filming equipment in a tutorial during one of our Media lessons. We were introduced to the equipment:


The JVC camera

We learned how set it up to record footage, how to use the focus, and how to use lightning to our advantage.

The tripod

We learned how to set up the tripod and place the camera on it in order to make it sit still and take good shots. We were also shown how to pan and tilt the camera, which are very useful techniques.

The lighting equipment


We learned that lighting is not always perfect and that we could sometimes use some of the equipment to make our footage look more professional.

The still camera

This will be used to take still photos for either planning and making storyboards or getting behind the scenes shots while we are filming for our projects.
