ET6: Importance of Skills Development

This is the tripod we used when filming our video, the tripod alters to different heights meaning we can get low angle shots and high angle shots. It is also helpful when we need a steady shot as the tripod keeps the camera still unlike if it is handheld and would keep shaking.
This photo shows the camera on the tripod, it is fitted firmly to the camera slot which allows stability with the camera. The handle on the side allows us to tilt the camera left and right and also to pan around the room. It also shows the lens cap which must always go back on the camera when we're finished with it.

This shows the camera from our point of view, it shows the settings of the buttons that changes the white balance, lighting etc. We could view our footage by pressing the green play button and delete it using the trash can button.

This is the camera case, the camera fits in comfortably and helps us manage our equipment safely. We carried the camera and charger in this to protect it from rain or dropping it etc. We learnt how to care for the camera as it was expensive and everything had to go back in its place once we'd finished with it.


These photos show our group using the camera, tripod and editing machine. It shows the angle we have the camera to create either a low angle shot, mid shot or close up. These photos show the lighting we used to film in and what we left in the shot. We did not use the tripod in this shot as we wanted a hand held effect of the camera shaking.

 
The photo of the editing machine shows us making our promotional video. We learnt how to use Premiere Pro, how to add in free sounds and how to elongate or shorten them. We learnt how to cut clips down if we didn't need certain parts, and how to drag other clips in. We also knew how to make sounds louder or quieter to suit the time of the film.
