Introduction to Video Camera

I learnt how to successfully use a video camera. I learnt how to set up the tripod, creating a solid base under the camera. You attach the handle to the side of the camera making it  Linked to this is the spirit level, stabilising the camera and making it’s weight centred over the supporting tripod. This concludes the basic set up. Now, with the camera on, u must set the frames to 250 and check to see if the white balance is correct for the specific light needed in the shot. You can do this by using a white piece of paper and holding it still in front of the camera. You then zoom right in and use the white balance button to synchronize the tone. For a tracking shot, you need  to lay down the tracks for the movable tripod to move freely on.  They have to be a certain width apart for the camera to move freely with out jolting. Lastly you focus the lens on the for the required shot, zooming in and zooming out.
