ON THE SET

We learnt how to use different camera equipment e.g. Tripods and Cannon cameras and iphone cameras.  We learnt how to set up the cameras along with the using the Apple Mac computers.

In our groups we took it in turns passing around the camera equipment and learnt the rules of passing the camera and equipment around. The person passing the camera has to say 'Yours' and the person receiving the camera has to say 'Mine'  this helps reduce the risk of dropping the camera. We learnt how to set up the tripod and how to "bubble" it using the spirit level to make the camera balanced and in focus.

In our groups we are using Final Cut Pro and iMovie on the iMacs in the media studio. We learnt how when uploading our footage, we should create a folder to keep the shots. These folders are called bins and the unedited footage from cameras are called rushes.

Here we are two photos of us setting up our tabletop shot.
