Camera Tutorial

To consolidate my knowledge of the camera, I decided to attend a Leyton Live session - this is where a live musical performance gets filmed and recorded in the studio. Leyton's media technician showed me everything I need to know for my shoot. Watching a live musical performance getting professionally filmed really helped to give me an idea of how setting up and filming is going to be when I shoot my music video. The main camera used was a 4k camera, with 3 other cameras set up at different angles.

Camera
- Tighten the handle to tighten the camera, loosen the handle to pan/tilt/move around the camera
- Take off the plate to attach the camera, it can be tightened with a key/coin

Lights
- Set up an initial marker/waypoint as a reference point which can then be altered in more detail accordingly
- Hot lighting = 'key light' = like a spotlight
- Cold lighting = 'fill light' = spread out
- The barman doors on the key light help to adjust the spread

Focus
1. Press the magnifying glass button on the top right corner of the camera
2. Touch the screen and line up the box with the subject of the focus
3. Press the magnifying glass button twice
4. Twist the focus ring until the midpoint of the focus is found

As well as this, I have the camera tutorial done in class to help me set up basics such as shutter speed and aperture.
