Notes on Today

Temperature of light in white balance and color.
-Keep white as natural looking as possible and consistent.
*You should rewatch Traffic*
-Whitecard to adjust color of camera.  Use the light sources to get correct setting.
-Rewhite balance everytime you move.
-Using tape, must use Jill's tape stock.  $3.25
-Dont shoot in first and last minute of the tape.
-Want at least 10-15 seconds of pre-roll.  Record before anything actually happens.
*Recording after actors have stopped is interesting*
-Balance the tripod.  Don't bother to use if you don't level the tripod.
-Removing the cap, put the cap in the camera box.
-Label the tape before putting the tape into the camera.
-Don't record in green mode.  Green = Safe.  Red = No no
-Don't keep in extreme heat or cold.  Keep them in room temperature in the box.
-Make sure the camera is in 4:3 aspect ratio.  Recording at Standard Play Mode.
*Make a checklist guy...be smart, be safe.*
-Make sure there's a base plate on the tripod.
-Camera comes with two batteries.  Loses power in cold weather. 2hrs max charge 20min for quickie.



*find difference between zooming and trucking.
*three different temperature locations
