Camera, the. 

 - Videocassette (VHS)(30 min.) :  sd., col. ;  1/2 in. 
<br/><br/> Tape One in the BBC series "On Camera" which teaches students the basic fundamentals of film and television production, on camera techniques. In some ways the camera is like an eye. It has a lens which lets in light and an iris or aperture to control the amount of light which enters. The human eye reacts to more light just like the one on the camera and it keeps on adjusting to changes in the light in the same way as the automatic iris on the camera, changes which in some cases are very minute. But the camera is not an eye. It does not have a brain to control it nor to improvise in difficult conditions.
