Camera Use and Recording
Teacher candidates will have the opportunity to check out a camera kit through Drake Library. Teacher candidates will need a Brockport ID card. Watch this video to learn what items are included in your camera kit.
How to use the camera
Video Recording Tips
- Be careful with backlighting - do not have a bright light source in the background if the subject is in the foreground. It will be difficult to see the subject.
- Both you and your students should be visible and audible
- Before you start, make sure you have enough available space on your SD card
Transferring Video to a Computer
Students are recommended to transfer video files onto a storage device that will provide them access to modify and save the file if it needs video trimming or compressions, and for preserving backup copies.
The following storage devices are recommended:
- A computer
- SD Card (32GB or larger)
- USB Flash Drives (32GB or larger)
- External Portable Hard Drive
Students are also highly recommended to work off of a copy of the original video - do not save over the original file.
