On the first half-term we had an intro to video camera in which our teacher showed us the basics of using video camera, how to make a primitive shots and how to use tripod correctly.
First of all we were presented how to set up camera correctly not damaging the lens and then turn it on. So, the camera almost ready to shoot but then we were presented for the pan handle and special levers to make the camera movement steady and smooth or in opposite fast and harsh.
Then we learnt how to 'bubble' the tripod which means the process to establish the tripod in exactly right position for this particular frame and we can know about it by an indicator on tripod which shows us the rights position when the bubble is right in the centre of the circle.
After we learnt these basics the camera was connected to TV to show us what we can see on camera display and to know their meaning.
For example, our teacher represented us Db indicator which show us the level of artificial light and we don't have an extreme need in it, the level of Db's should be always zero.
When the microphone was attached to camera, teacher told us that its omni directional so all sounds around this mic will be recorded so we should be really careful when filming to avoid unnecessary sounds on the background of film.
There are different filters to balance the light in the shot and the most popular and used are four of them:
1 3200k indoor
2 5600k outdoor with 1/4 Nd
3 5600k outdoor clear
4 5600k outdoor with 1/6 Nd
Finally, the last thing which was presented to us were an angles which can captured by camera. They can be wide or standard and it mostly depend on what screen you are going to watch this film because the standards of 80-90s TVs was a standard frame and the new one which becomes more and more popular is a wide screen.
With this knowledge we are ready to start filming and up to this time we already tried ourselves in a roles of directors, cameramen, actors and, mainly, generators of ideas and scenarios how to make our realisation of storyboard exemplar the best.
