OTS – TRIPODS AND SLATING


Before carrying tripod what should you do with locking mechanisms

Lock them

Which part of the legs should you extend first when shooting and why

The uppermost ones, because the metal is thicker and more rigid

How can you get a fake slider movement without using a slider

Use a dolly on a flat surface eg table

What is the main reason we use a slate in recording

To sync sound using the high sound waves caused by the slate

Why do we not use i and o when adding letters to the scene number

Because they can be mistaken for a 1 and 0

If you have no slate what can you use instead

A clap!
