In the camera workshop on the 17th of January we were taught about how to use the cameras as well as the tripods that our schools offers to us to shoot our opening title sequences.
In the workshop we were shown a Black magic 4K mini URSA camera and a tripod
The "yours and mine rule" is to make sure equipment is not dropped and broken.
You say mine when you are receiving the item and have a good grip on it and are able to take its weight
You say yours when you are handing over an item and you are going to let go of the item
The spirit level is on the tripod and it is used to make the tripod level
you use the spirit level so that you can move the tripod around and get the bubble into the middle circle. When you do that you you will know the tripod is level so the camera will be level
To raise the tripod you turn the clamps on each leg at the bottom then you can put one foot on the bars that run from each leg to the other (the bars on the floor) and then pull the tripod up. If you need to raise the tripod even more you would turn the upper clamps and pull the tripod up even more.
the bottom clamps are shown by the green arrows and the upper clamps are shown by the blue arrows
To focus and zoom you turn two different parts of the lens
you would use the focus ring to focus (green arrow)
you would use the zoom ring to zoom (blue arrow)
white balancing is when you change the colours on the camera so that the pictures/ videos coming from the camera look more natural
outside you would need to change the colours after filming inside
you press 3200K to access the changing of colours menu
the screen is touch screen so you just press the preset colour change you want
striking the kit is wear you put the camera and tripod (kit0 away in their bags or boxes
you do this so that when you come to film again everything is in its place and easy to set up again
you do this to make it easier for yourself when filming
