1. List the advantages and disadvantages of using a tripod when shooting television news.
Tripods are used for tight shots; free of shakiness so it would be useful for the news when they are reporting from the station. It wouldn't be as useful when you would be recording something where you have to move around. You could just hold the camera.
2. What are the most important techniques that can be used to steady the handheld camera?
If outside, find a wall, telephone pole, tree, or whatever is handy and push the camera against this object. Indoors, a straight-backed chair is handy, sit backward on the chair and use the chair back as a camera support. You can kneel for steadier shots by sitting on your heels and resting your elbows on your knees or set it on an equipment case.
3. Explain the primary considerations that govern panning and zooming.
The primary considerations is to consider how smooth your zoom is. You don't want your zoom to be too noticeable, no one should know that you zoomed in. Also make sure you do not have too many zooms or pans.
4. Why is it important to establish interactive communication in the field between the photographer and reporter?
It is important because communication is as vital as the story. You want to make sure that everyone contributions and ideas are heard and you want to know exactly what is going to be done. Communication among the reporting team and the photographer makes a great story.
5. What techniques can be used to avoid the pop cut?
After every shot, move the camera to a new location and angle. Establish an imaginary axis line projecting from the lens through the center of the subject.
6. Define the term editing in the camera, and discuss situations in which the technique can be useful.
Shooting sequences and overlapping action in generally the same order in which they later will be aired. This technique can save time editing if the airtime is close and it can ensure that a story will be edited as the photographer wants it to be aired.
