Had a general overview with Ian of the main things to consider with regard to the operation of a digital camera.

We covered things like:

  • Depth of field
  • F-stops
  • ISO
  • Aperture
  • Stutter Speed

As well as general tips like

  • The storytelling arc
  • How to use a tripod to stead a camera whilst holding it
  • Shooting with an editor in mind
  • Lighting
  • Operation of sound equipment

Ian clearly knew his stuff and was very engaging. I think he found it difficult to know how in-depth he needed to go with us on the various topics he covered.
