Filming Techniques

Throughout our music video we will be adapting to a number of different techniques to get the desired shots that we will be using.

Firstly in order to get the glowing and streaking lights through our shots we will need to adapt the shutter speed and slow it right down so that the shot slows down and the light is kept in streaks for longer.
In order to do this we need to:
· Flip the switch on the bottom left of the camera to , this is the manual setting.
· Then click in the exposure button and go down on the setting that appear to the shutter speed
· Then lower the speed fraction from 1/120 to as low as will go to roughly 1/6.
· Then check that it is the correct speed by then looking through the camera and seeing if the slower speed has been achieved.


Saving battery
· In order to conserve the battery on the camera, the cameras will automatically want to turn off after a short while.
· To stop it turning off and resetting all of the settings that have been changed simply quickly record something by clicking the record button the very quickly stop recording.
· Also to make sure that the camera does not run out of battery and to ensure that the settings we have changed to not get reset, instead of turning it off I will flick the camera to lock mode which will sent the camera to sleep.
