In Tuesdays lesson we got introduced to our coursework for AS Media Studies, this involves making a short thriller movie and using technical equipment such as video cameras, editing software and much more. I started my Preliminary Task for AS Media, Miss went through a few tips and hints about using the video camera. I have included a photograph of my notes and I will list the following tips below so it is more clear;
* Make sure the tape goes upside down so that the silver strip is facing outwards.
* There is a small label inside the camera saying 'Do not push', when slotting the tape in it will automatically go down itself.
* Make sure that you clean the lens with a tissue and NOT with your finger.
* You need to film in the same aspect. (wide screen 16:9 or Square 4:3).
* Make sure the recording format is set to slow play.
* Check that the audio is set to 16BIT instead of 12, this enhances the quality of the sound.
* Must be aware of the Pre and Post role, this means you have to record five seconds before and after the clip to make sure that your footage is all there.
* You must always use a tripod, this gives a more stable shot and you can use some hand held shots if required.
* Do not point the camera towards the sun as you can damage the lenses.
* You have to set the white balance every time you film.
