Camera ready? Action!

This week's tutorial activity was finally getting our own hands on the equipments such as the sound equipments and the camera equipments. I didn't know that when we are using the equipments, there are a lot of small details that we have to be careful about.

The first equipment we were using was the sound equipments. We learned how to install the parts and how to basically record good quality sounds by stabilizing the sound level so it's got to be on the zero level.

The second equipment was the camera equipment, including the tripod as well. First thing first, rather than being helpful, Paul told us to just let one person to set up the tripod. That way, only person who knows and have to make sure that the tripod clamps/knobs/locks are tighten, every one of them. Next, we had to put the camera above it, make sure that it's locked well and you should never let your hands off the camera. With the camera on it, adjust the tripod level. Done with the tripod level, we attached the camera battery and voila! Camera ready.

The first thing we did with the camera was to locate every buttons and functions on the camera. Zoom in and out. Playing with the white balance, with Paul as our talented actor. So basically that's what everybody had to try. After that, we should just take off the equipments and put it in the right place and order.

Remember: safety first. Should use shoes that covers our toes next time! Well, noted.
