Three Important things I learned in Class

Three Things I learned in Class:

1. In class we were introduced to the different functions of a video camera. Anyone can easily shoot footage on automatic settings, however we were taught how to manually set up the settings depending on our environment for a stronger shot. I successfully learned about the white balance, focusing, and exposure settings.

2. Dana taught us how to import our videos into iMovie. We simply just had to connect our cameras to the computer through a firewire and open the program. iMovie successfully imported the footage sliced it into clips for every scene break.

3. As a class we paired up and experimented with our cameras. We took still footage using tripods. For our project we chose to film movement of people in a still frame. The tripod was helpful to vanish all possible movement within the scene.
