Question 6. Equipment Used

This is the camera we used while filming our film opening. I found this camera really easy to use, as there aren't many controls which need much instruction on how to use. 
However, i have learnt while making my film that its best to film in lighter ares, even if you want a dark scene as the camera will naturally make everything looks darker. I learnt this when i did the first set of filming and all of the shots were far too dark to be able to see any of the action taking place. I also learnt this when some of the shots i did the third time, it was a brighter day than the other days i had film, i worked round this by editing the contrast in the editing process.
Another thing i learnt from the camera is that its better to have more shots than you need rather than having only the shots you "think" you want, as these might not work out due to lighting or weather.
