Intro to video camera

I had a lesson on camera work before my prelim task. In this lesson I learnt numerous rules, including the 180 degree rule, and how to set up the video camera, First we had to set up the tripod by opening it up and extending the legs. The next thing we did was attatch the camera to the tripod by clipping it in and then making sure that the camera was level by fixing it at the point where the bubble on the tripod is in the area indicated. I was then showed how to do the technical bits of camera work, how to start recording, how to focus and zoom and finally how to change the white balance.
