Glossary: Camera Aspects

My teacher (Mrs. Keenan) has now brought in the cameras that we are hopefully going to be using in the making of our videos. These are the "Canon EOS 550D" models that are able to film HD quality video!
For this, I decided to do some research on some of the camera aspects and skills that shall allow me, through further understanding of the medium, to produce higher quality film, than what I intended!
Here is a power point presentation (Microsoft PowerPoint 2010) upon some listed and important factors when it comes to understanding the use of cameras:

The following slides are of:
  • Shutter Speed
  • Aperture - AV
  • ISO
  • The exposure Triangle
  • White Balance
  • Exposure modes
  • What can you do if the shot is too bright? Too Dark?
  • What is 'gain'?
Unfortuneately there is no possible way that I can upload the presentation itself without converting it into a video file (which I don't really know how to do nor do I think that these computers have the correct software), so here is my presentation within 14 images (in correlation to its 14 slides), in clear and readable detail:













 


Other useful aspects that I have found are within (these) tutorial videos, that show step-by-step guides as to how to use the "Canon EOS 550D" 

Here is a general, yet extremely thorough review of the product:


And here is an entire documentary on the product:
