Health and Safety tutorial

We had a health and safety tutorial in order to prevent any problems arising during our practical tasks and we were introduced to the equipments we'll be using during the project. 

JVC Camera

We'll be using JVC professional recording cameras. It is small and easy to carry containing a professional recording quality to gain a great experience. We must be very careful while using the cameras and therefore we should follow the rules below:

• We shouldn't touch the lens because they can get easily damaged which can destroy our footage or the camera can stop working.
• The camera should be held safely.
• We cannot expose the camera to any liquid and bad weather conditions e.g. rain
• We should give the camera back on time and make sure its in a safe place during practical tasks.
• We must ensure that the camera is accurately attached on the tripod. 

Additionally, during our media lesson we were taught on how to correctly use the cameras by:

• Inserting and removing the battery properly
• Inserting and removing the camera from the tripod
• Opening and closing the tripod accurately
• Inserting and removing the memory card properly 

Tripod

When opening the tripod we should always make sure that all the legs are on the same level so that the camera is perfectly stable. The tripod legs can be extended twice according to the camera shot you want to shoot.

The memory card should always be kept in safe places and we must not lose it as we can lose all the footages. The memory card can support approximately 2 hours of filming which will be enough for our film opening.
