The truth is that the camera is the most important piece of equpitment which we will be using this year. Yes it is true we could have made a title sequence without filming, but how boring would that be? Marisa came into our media class and introduced us to the cameras we would soon be using to film our 2 minute opening sequences. She then proceeded to give us a presentation on basic use of camera's, tripods and basic health and saftey. After participating in this session each individual member of the class had to sign documentation to state that they had undergone the session and understood how to use the equiptment properly and basic health and saftey issues. Our Intro into Cameras & Health and Safety Checklist included the following requirments:
-The Ability to take the cameras out of the bags properly
-How to insert and eject the battery and memory cards
-How to use the cameras efficently i.e. watch back clips, turn off/on, open lense, focus the cameras
-How to set the tripod up i.e. stretch the legs
-The ability to attatch the camera to the tripod and lock it in safely
-Give the exact location of filming
-Leave contact details
-Always film in an apropriate and safe manner
-No mains electrisity always batteries
-To film within the Law i.e. no tresspassing or breach of copyright
-Seek permission to film individuals and on Locations
After we proved we could sucessfully use the equiptment and that we understood the health and safety precautions Marisa outlined, we signed documents stating this, the document was then in turn, signed by Andrew Bailes and we can now film and use media equpitment, YAY!
