At the beginning, before we start our filming our teacher gave us a tutorial of how to use the camera correctly and safely. We were given a JVC GY-HM100E Camcorder, two 16GB memory cards, battery for the camcorder which allow us about 2 hours recording time and a tripod.
The camera has many functions which include a built in Mic therefore it doesn't need the external microphone unless necessary. On the side of the camera, there is an on/off button and it is very clever as the camera will switch off automatically if not used for 5 minutes. The lens is operated by the lever next to the focus ring. Our teacher told us that we must not touch the lens as when we editing because there will be finger prints on the clips. The viewfinder on the side tells us how much time recording time we have remaining and how much battery power is left. We can also focused on certain subject as well as zoom in and out. When recording, we are able to press 'Q.Review' to constantly play back the last few seconds of our shots.

The memory cards allow us to film up to 1 hour and 40 minutes and it has a switch on the side which protect our clips in case anyone used it, it will be locked.
The tripod were given to us for preventing the camera movement while filming, it reduce the camera from shaking. Also, it offers stability within a shot as well as certain desired heights. Furthermore, it allows free movement which you can track or pan as well as tilt up and down.
