Health and Safety tutorial on filming equipment

In the lesson, Mickey gave us an induction on how to use the equipment we will need for the filming of our thriller. The list of equipment used included: a camcorder, battery, memory card and tripod.

 We were shown how to work the camcorder, and how to do many different things, such as turning it on and various camera functions. His tutorial will be very helpful in the future when it comes to filming.

We were also shown how to fit in the memory sticks and how to tell if it had been locked or not.






Here, we were shown how to fit, and replace the camera batteries.







And finally, we were taught how to correctly place the camcorder on the tripod.









As well as teaching us how to work the camcorders we will be using in the future, he showed us different shot types and classic mistakes made when filming.
