Intro to Cameras & Health and Saftey Tutorial



Cameras

Each media class had a tutorial on the precautions on using cameras and how to use them. We learnt how to record, film and focus in on the subject as well as using it properly and handling it with care.


We used a JVC camcorder and were given two memory cards to put in for our memory. We learnt how to switch from one memory card to the other. For health and safety, we used rechargeable batteries instead of electric sockets. This prevented tripping over as well as enabling us to film where ever we had chosen to.


We were also taught how to extend the tripod depending on the height we wanted to film at as well as making sure that it is locked so that the camcorder so that the camera wont fall off and be steady when filming. When we filmed, we should carry the tripod whilst the camcorder is still on there, we should take it off first in case the tripod was to fall, the camcorder will fall with it.



When practicing with it, we were able to use to successfully whilst taking all the precautions needed.
