Health and safety:

 

• No food and drink but bottles with a lid are allowed.
• Careful of trip hazards
• For the tripods extend the legs and make sure it is stable and check that its strong.
• There are 3 background rolls and use the chain to pull it down and roll it up.
• Ask a technician  to change the colour, don't do it yourself.
• Use the rubber strip to stop the paper background from curling.
• Always remove shoes before stepping on the paper.
• Switch the lights off before changing accessories but leave 10/15 minutes.
• Trigger flash before turning off.
• Never use the light without an accessory.
• if the light is faulty it will beep.

Basic Camera functions:

Aperture:

Aperture lets light into the camera, the larger the aperture the more light is let in through the lens and the smaller the aperture the less light is let in through the lens.

You measure the aperture in F numbers, the smaller the F number the more light is let in a visa versa.

 

Depth of field:

A large aperture gives a shallow depth of field, and you use the black dial on the camera. depth of field effects the foreground, middleground and the background. It controls how much of an object can be in focus.

 

Shutter Speed:

The shutter speed controls the amount of light, is the shutter speed is slow the more light is received and the faster the shutter speed is the less light is received. and use the top dial of the camera you get given in the studio.

 

 

 

I set up and learned about the lights, I know how to change the accessory and use the different modes on the back. this is the example that I did and used a dummy to model the lightning.

this lightmeter is used to measure the ISO, shutter speed and aperture by holding it up to the model while the flash and lights are set off, it then tells you what numbers you need to put into the camera to get the right exposure for a good photograph.
