Our class went up to the edit suite to have our first lesson on how to use a camera. Most of us had never seen or held a proper filming camera so it was all a huge experience. Matt taught us all about using contrast, lighting and DB’s. All of this is very important as if you get it wrong and there is too much light coming into your camera whilst filming the film will be very difficult to see anything and it will seem as though the light of a nuclear bomb has gone off. We then learnt how to put the camera on a tri pod and how to put the battery in and set the whole thing up and put it together. We were told to go off and film a 5 minuet sequence in our groups from different angles. But we learnt how to let the actors move within the frame and not to pan or tilt the camera. It was very interesting to see all our first films.
