Training With The Camera

This week we had our first encounter with the cameras we will be using to shoot our film. Not only did we get to play around with them we were also taught how to use them properly, for example, what settings to film on, what we can do on the camera itself and where to find the rental room etc. Although I have worked with cameras before it was good to get a more in depth talk on the cameras to help get my confidence back again with using them. A lot of the stuff I have written down as I know I will forget it later on. We have also been set the task of producing a short 60 second film including match on action shots all the way throughout. I think this is a good idea to start us of with as like me, it had been a while since many of us used a proper camera. I don’t yet have an idea as to what I am going to film but I’m sure I will come up with one soon. I am looking forward to using the cameras and getting started on filming once I have come up with a few more ideas.
