Intro to cameras & health and safety tutorial

In one of my recent lessons we were shown a presentation to introduce us to using the cameras. In the presentation we were shown the basics of using the cameras including the demonstration of how to apply the battery and memory card into the camera correctly. After this, each group was given a 5 mb memory card in order to use for thier task. As well as these basics we were taught how to use the lcd when recording and reviewing recorded film, and where to correctly apply the microphone to the camera and how to place the camera on the tripod when filming. In addition to this we were shown how to adjust tthe height levels and angles of the camera while it was placed on the tripod in order to achieve different camera shots, angles and focuses. In terms of safety when using the tripod we were notified on how to secure the camera onto the tripod with the safety lock and how to balance the camera using the measurer on the tripod. In the final part we had to sign a contract consulting and agreeing on the grounds that we had been through the tutorial.
