This is a Tutorial video on how to use the Canon EOS 1100D. If you didn't know how to use the camera you can watch the video as it will help guide you on how to use the camera correctly.




I also looked at a instruction manual for the camera to help myself and others learn some different ways and tips about how to use the camera. Here is the link to the Click Here










Here is a 2 pictures of me practising using the camera to take pictures and videos.



The one main quality about the footage is that we were able to use a tripod. Within the music video we will definitely use a tripod to ensure we can have steady and still shots that will help to achieve a higher quality video. By using a tripod it will reduce how shaky the camera shots are and will make it a lot more fluent whilst filming. 



Here is a picture of the tripod. With this tripod we are able to make the legs of it smaller or bigger. We could have the legs of the tripod all the way in so you can just hold the tripod and have a steady shot instead of just holding the camera and the filming to be shaky.














Here is a panning shot that were filmed. This was filmed while on the tripod and you can tell that the camera isn't shaky, the camera movement is steady and still.


This is an establishing shot that me and Ryan got of the 6th form corridor.
