Photographic equipment information

Nikon D5100:

The D5100 is a camera made by Nikon to take photos and record video. The D5100 was released in 2011 April 5th meaning it is just over 6 years old and there are newer models which could appeal to a photography target audience. The D5100 costs around £315 and reviews on shopping websites such as amazon show it is highly recommended. These cameras are also very good with the assistance of a tripod and monopod. A tripod is something that helps steady the camera so that there is no blur in the shot and during recording there is no unintentional shaking of the camera. In addition there is also a monopod. A monopod is like a tripod but only has 1 leg instead of 3. This is because in many populated areas for example London some areas people are not allowed to use tripods. The monopod is useful as your own 2 legs make the shape of a tripod. The cost a tripod is £53 however there are multiple types of tripods all which has its benefits and differences. The cost of a monopod is £15.
Overall I think that this equipment will be useful to my course and would love the opportunity to experiment with these components.

It is also good to keep the person comfortable because you will be able to get a good amount of information otherwise they could be straight to the point and may not elaborate. To do this you must be able to keep eye contact with the interviewee and make sure they are not looking at the camera. When it comes to more technical side of this ...

College TV

Date: 31/10/17 Today I worked on ideas about college TV this had to based about news with the theme of new years. So for this I have successfully made 3 ideas/ mind maps for this. The first idea consisted of reflection as so much has happened in the past year. This links to the idea of new years as it links to the past and reflecting on what we have done. In this I mentioned how some things should be presented and deeper meanings within simple aspects. For the second idea it involved change this idea occurred as many people make new years resolutions to try and follow. This showed more of an idea of mystery as we do not know what is to come. The final idea was about being festive this is because it involved more of a cultural and diverse look on how people celebrate and it allows the audience to interpret the piece how they want to. I think that the main problem was being able to continuously create unique ideas as I had only though of 1 originally. I was able to ...
