Introduction to Camera and tripod
In our first proper session with the PD170 camera we learnt first how to set up the cartoni delta tripod. To make sure that the bright yellow bubble thing was facing us before we put on the pan handle, this could be on the left or right side depending on preference. The next thing we learnt was how to attach the camera to the tripod. This was reasonable easy but something that must be done right or the camera could fall off and break.
After attaching the camera, we learnt how to “bubble” the camera; this is done so that the camera is level on top of the tripod. Then looking into the more technical side of the camera, we looked into what should be on the screen of the viewer before we start to film; so that we can get the best possible material e.g. there are no decibels “0db”. Also to make sure when we start recording for the first thirty seconds to record colour bars; if the camera is going to mess up its most likely to happen in the first 30 seconds.
