Health and Safety Tutorial

In the health and safety tutorial, I was taught how to take recording equipment out, as well as using the recording equipment safely without damaging it. 
The equipment I'd been introduced to is the JVC camcorder and the Tripod. Along with the camcorder, came the battery and the memory card which I was shown where and how to insert and eject both of them safely. I learnt where and what some of the basic buttons were used for such as the 'Rec' button to record, as well as the use of other buttons such as the Filter, the On/Off button and the shutter button. 
When constructing the camcorder onto the tripod, I was shown how to slide it on correctly and locking it, as well as sliding it back off the tripod. 
After being taught about how to use the camcorder safely and efficiently, I then put what I was learnt to practice by successfully putting up the tripod stand, putting the camcorder correctly and testing a few basic shots by recording and using the zoom in and out effect. 
We were also told as basic reminders to never have the camcorder out in the rain unless a giant umbrella is covering it, never leave the camera with anybody that isn't in my group or isn't a media teacher, and to always return the camcorder and equipment on time.
