My first experience filming: I was confident to film using a camera recorder because I had filmed at home before and knew how to use the zoom and buttons. I took some test footage in the classroom to see if my shots were steady and clear. However, attaching the camera recorder to the tripod was difficult because the recorder was unsteady and I kept forgetting to close the hook on the tripod, causing it to collapse when placed on the ground. After some practice, I started to understand how to use the tripod.
