Before we were able to get our hands on the camera and begin taking practise shots, we had to have a health and safety tutorial in order to become familiar with the equipment and to make sure we knew how to look after the equipment.
It is vital that we must take care and look after the equipment properly because it could get damager or could result in injury. For example, If a tripod is damaged it is possible that we could trip over which means that the tripod will be damaged even more as well as a person being injured. but not only that if we are filming on the streets we must make sure our equipment has been checked to ensure that it is safe enough to take outdoors.
Also when using the equipment outdoors, we must ensure that it is then put straight back in the bag so we don't loose or misplace things, another thing to look out for is the weather, before filming outdoors the weather must be checked for example, if it rains the camera is at a high risk of being damaged and would be a waste of time if we had set up to film outdoors and were not able to.
During the tutorial we were taught the basic instructions of how to use the camera such as turning it off and on, how to open and close the lens and how to insert the memory cards.
