In class, I learnt how to handle and operate a professional camera. I also learnt how to set up a tripod and how to handle camera apparatus safely. The first thing that I learnt was how to insert a charged battery into the battery compartment of the camera. I also learnt how to remove the battery without damaging the camera! I was then taught how to turn the camera on and got used to where all the different operating buttons were, i.e. where the recording button was, etc. I also learnt how to focus the camera, how to watch back what I have recorded and how to adjust the camera image according to how bright my surroundings are. Post learning the functions of a professional camera, I learnt how to put the camera onto a tripod and use the tripod to meet my filming needs. I learnt how to set up a tripod from scratch, adjusting it to various heights and also learning how to store it away properly. At first, it was tricky to place the camera safely onto the tripod but then I learnt how to do so by sliding it into place and hearing a click (and also tightening a screw to make sure the camera was extra safe and steady). I was then able to use a the tripod to pan the camera left and right, up and down and continued to experiment with different types of filming.
