Health & Safety Tutorial

On Friday 9th December, we had a tutorial teaching us the health and safety tips/rules to abide by when using the cameras & filming. These where:

JVC Camcorder



• Do NOT change the camera settings at all otherwise when it comes to editing,  difficulties will arise          
• Ensure the persons head is at the top of the screen, blank spaces are unprofessional           
• Move with camera rather than zoom in for a neater cut
• Use a tripod to level the screen when filming
• Be VERY carful when handling the equiptment as they are very expensive
• Its the groups responsibilty to ensure that any equiptment loaned out is returned on time and in working condition
• Wait 5 seconds before and after filming, to leave space for editing
• Ensure that the person being filmed is in the middle of the screen
• Do not shoot in sunny areas as it affects the lights shown in the camera
• Be prepared, if shooting in the rain a big umbrella must be borrowed to protect the equiptment 

By abiding by these tips, filming the opening of a thriller for our coursework should run smoother than the River Nile, resulting in us getting the best grade possible :)
