Canon Camera

In our Media Department, we have just purchased a brand new Canon DSLR camera Kit. This new kit includes:

• The actual Body of the Camera.
• Tripod
• SteadiCam
• Light Box
• Microphone
• x3 lenses 

The three different lenses are:

• 75mm- This is used for Close up shots, as, because it is a longer, and so the shot it captures is not as wide, but captures a more focused, and hence close-up, detailed shot.
• 50mm- This is used for medium/ mid shots, as it is not as close-up as the 75mm, but is closer than the 35mm.
• 35mm- This is used for wide/ long shots, as, because it is a shot lens  it can capture a much larger/ wider shot than the other two, so would be ideal for capturing an establishing shot for instance. 

This is the PDF file of the manual of the Camera we will be using:

This video was very useful in explaining how to transfer our clips onto the Mac, and into Final Cut Pro.

This also helps by giving a very simple step to step guide:
