Using a camera

In the lesson we were shown different different camera shots and angles, movement.


Here are the camera shots and angles:

These are used during filming to make to demonstrate different aspects of film setting, characters and themes. Then we used a camera and one person had to be in the film, and we used all the camera angles, shots and movements and held for 10 seconds for each shot.

Today's is my first lesson of Media Studies
I have never done media studies before so this was my first lesson and I really enjoyed it, and I hope to enjoy it in the future.

For my first day of media for our introduction we were shown how to set up the camera on a tripod. We were also shown different angles of how cameras are shot, these are; panning shot, tracking shot, angles shot, low angles shot. We all took it in turns to set the camera up and how to use it and how to put it down.

Today I have learnt in the lesson how to use a camera properly and how to set a camera tripod up and to attach the camera to the tripod. I have never done media before so I didn't know that much about media and how to use cameras and filming. The lesson helped me lot and gave me an understanding on how to use a camera properly and how to film certain shots. This was the first time I have been shown how to use a camera, I found it easy to set it up.I enjoyed using the camera for the first time it was fun and easy and I now know how to use a camera in the future for filming.
