camera - filming

In todays lesson we learnt how to use the camera in a step by step method. we learnt how to control exposure, how to pick the picture style and how to make it into focus. to do this we used a cannon camera. firstly we started on the menu where we change it to movie rec size to 1080p then we moved onto exposure control which involves: shutter speed of 50, aperture to experiment and ISO should be 100 at its lowest and 1600 at its highest because above this point the footage might become grainy and will ruin the shot. also, we learnt how to change the picture style to neutral and the white balance to AWB which stands for auto white balance. lastly, we focused on focus. there's auto focus (AF) and manual focus (MF) but from today's lesson we were told that manual focus is better.
