Intro to cameras and health and safety tutorial

During todays lesson the class was given an introduction to the cameras, we were shown how to use the cameras, what to do and what not to do. There were many advantages and disadvantages shown. We were shown not to turn off the sound as it would be difficult for us to show the video even though we could put subtitles, but it would be hard and long. We were shown how to hold the camera, how to put it on the tripod without damaging it, how to preview the last video we recorded. We also learnt how to use the memory cards, changing and slotting the memory cards was shown as a tricky point as we could put it in wrong or use the wrong memory card whilst recording. By learning all the advantages and disadvantages with the camera it helps us learn the health and safety techniques, and makes us aware of what to do the next time.
