Intro to cameras & health and safety

In this lesson, we were introduced to the equipment that we would be using for the next couple weeks whilst making our thriller film. Although not identical, we were talked through how to use the camera & tripod safely and properly. Whilst showing us through this tutorial, the demonstrators made it very clear that the equipment was expensive, and any damage to them would have to be repaid by ALL group members, which amused my classmates & I.


Although we did not get to use the cameras for filming during the lesson, we managed to get a chance to play around with them and see how they operate for ourselves as we set up & packed away the equipment.


Before receiving our equipment, we were made to sign a form that made us responsible for the condition of the equipment when they were in our possession. They also explained that before taking out the cameras, we had to sign a form which would tell the technicians how long we would have the camera for etc, and we would need to have a media card in our possession before we can take out any equipment.
