equipment: boring but necessary

 Hello Blog!

As someone who's usually in front of the camera and not behind it, I don't have much experience using various types of equipment. When I am behind the camera, I usually lean towards using a Canon T8 or T7, as they are the first cameras I learned how to use and the easiest for me. Regarding other equipment, I keep it simple with a 50 ml lens, a zoom lens, and a tripod. Hearing about different lens sizes and uses can be confusing, and learning all the settings on very advanced cameras can be overwhelming. However, with this project, I'm determined to break out of my comfort zone and learn how to work with better equipment! Since our project is a film opening and is filmed during dusk/nighttime, it is crucial that our camera settings are perfect to ensure the best quality possible! 

Through our television production class, my team is able to check out recording equipment. For our film opening we checked out a Canon Mark 4 Camera, a tripod, and a GIANT LENS. I'm not kidding; it's genuinely the biggest lens I've ever seen. In TV we call it Big Bertha, because its just... that big. 



I'm so excited to learn how to better use this equipment! I will keep you updated on how it goes.

That's all for this blog, see you next time!
