On Sunday evening at 1pm during the Men’s Basketball Game Jeff Taylor assigned me to watch how the camera men controlled the cameras for the entire game from a bird’s eye view. There were two different cameras for the basketball game. I thought it was a good experience because I got a chance to learn how video cameras are used before and after the games. I watched the first camera man with the smallest camera, which was mainly focused on whoever had the basketball and to zoom slightly in and out. He also had to slowly move the camera from left to right so that the audience at home watching on TV could see what is happening. Even though I was told to watch and learn from the first camera man I decided to learn from the second camera guy. His camera was a lot bigger and different than the other one and the tasks were a lot different. He had to zoom in and out a lot, move the camera quickly on the players and whoever had the ball in their hand. Also, he had to make sure that the aperture was not blurry when zooming in or out of the audience during commercial break. While I was observing both camera men, I began to ask questions about video cameras that relates to photography cameras like how to control the depth of field and how to capture the players moving quickly without a slow shutter speed.  I wish that I could have learned how they set up the cameras before using them and how to turn them off.
