RESEARCH - health and safety

During our lesson, we learn how to use a camera and a tripod, as well as the media cards and were to insert them. We was taught this through a tutorial which explained in depth how to use them safely so we don't get hurt.

We used :

a JVC camera:

a tripod:

a still camera:

We was taught exactly how to put the camera on the tripod so that it can securely be on without falling and causing any harm. We was also taught how to extend the tripod safely without our fingers getting hurt. We was told to listen out for a click when the camera is on the tripod and to tighten the button the side so that it is locked. We was told to slide it off rather than pulling it off so that there is no damage done. For the tripod we was taught to keep our hands away from the leg when the switch was open so that our fingers doesn't get hurt and we was told to always lock it so its safe. Furthermore we was told the consequences of damaging the equipment.
