Camera operating evidence - Set up the operate camera and lighting

We prepared for filming by setting up a tripod to stabilize the camera and eliminate any shakiness that would occur if we held the camera by hand. The tripod provided features such as smooth panning, allowing us to capture clear establishing shots of the filming locations.

To ensure a secure setup, we made sure the tripod was stable and securely mounted the camera onto it. This prevented any accidents or instability during the recording process.

We ventured into various locations to film our project. One of the chosen spots was an classroom, known for its normal and familar ambiance. We believed this location would be ideal to convey the desired atmosphere in our short film.

Prior to filming, we ensured the camera lens was clean and focused properly, guaranteeing sharp and clear footage for our recordings.

A tripod on tracks is a camera support system that combines a tripod with a set of tracks or dolly wheels. It enables smooth and controlled camera movements for capturing dynamic shots in filmmaking and photography. By gliding along the tracks, the camera achieves stability and precision, particularly for tracking shots. Various track systems are available, offering different sizes and features. Setting up the tracks, mounting the tripod securely, and moving the camera along the tracks helps achieve professional-looking footage with fluid movements. Overall, a tripod on tracks is a versatile tool for adding visual interest and professionalism to projects. We used this so we can get a rolling shot. 

Lighting evidence. 

In a three-point lighting setup, the key light is the primary light source that illuminates the subject or scene. It is positioned at an angle to create depth and shape the subject's appearance. The key light establishes the main lighting direction and can be adjusted to control contrast, shadows, and highlights. It adds dimension, texture, and mood to the scene and plays a crucial role in creating visually appealing photographs or video footage.

In a three-point lighting setup, the fill light is used to balance the shadows created by the key light. It is positioned on the opposite side of the key light and provides a softer and less intense light source. The fill light helps reduce contrast, reveal details in shadows, and create a more even and natural-looking appearance. Its intensity is typically lower than the key light, and it can be adjusted to control the level of shadow fill. Incorporating a fill light in the setup contributes to a balanced and pleasing lighting result.

In a three-point lighting setup, the backlight, also known as the rim light or hair light, is positioned behind the subject. It creates highlights along the subject's edges, separating them from the background and adding depth and dimension to the scene. The backlight helps to outline the subject and adds a professional touch to the overall lighting composition.
