VIDEO CAMERA INTRODUCTION


The video camera is the most important piece of equipment that we are going to be using. Therefore we needed to know how to do pre-recording checks, set it up correctly, and general use of the camera - we were taught this by Matt. We used Sony camera's and they are perfect for and introduction to camera's and filming.

The most important checks that need to be done are :

PRE RECORDING CHECKS
  • Camera attached to the tri-pod correctly

  • 'Bubbled' the camera - levels.

  • Enough battery for the amount of filming that is neccesary

  • Checking the lighting - light gain (DB)

GENERAL USE

  • Colour bar at the beginning
  • Recording directions - 'Standby'-'Roll Camera'-'ACTION!'
