In our 'Video DSLR Induction' we went over the basics on how to use a DSLR to film. At first we were a little confused as to why we would need to film live action because that defeats the purpose of animation, however the principle of referencing came up as an ideal answer and therefore I thought this induction came in handy. Like the Photography induction, we were recommended to use the DSLR on manual mode and were given a bunch of 'base' settings to use which I took notes on as shown above. Some tips were given, like to format the card every time in case you run out of memory half way through and have to stop what you're doing and manually delete frames, and also check that you have all the kit in case you go on location and realise something valuable is missing and you can't start.
Overall, I am glad I attended this induction, and I am also glad I have a few notes because there would be no way I would remember all the numbers and technicalities, because I have never used a DSLR to film, but for referencing, I now think I would like to have a go.
