In the reading of week 5, I found the this reading is very useful to understand how to operate with the camera. I am responsible for the camera work in the filming project and I found bit difficult to work with that big camera by myself. But this reading have taught me to use the camera, such as find the right focus on the subject or face that I want and how to set up the camera when I film in different places like indoors and outdoors.

And in the week 7 reading, it taught me a lot about lighting. I have learnt some basic concept of lighting in the cinema studies but din’t know how to set up different kinds of lighting at all. And the reading has taught the practical skills to set up and how to do the lighting like background light and different angles of key and fill lighting.
