Camera/Composition Summary

The camera and composition unit has taught me the mechanics of white balancing a camera and why it's done, the different parts to a tripod and how to operate them, and how to create a good composition through general rules like the Rule of Thirds and headroom. I'm still curious about the Golden Rule because I see how it's applied in certain movies, but I don't know how to follow it for my own clips. I think it would be helpful if the LCD monitors had the Fibonacci sequence drawn out as a reference, so I could position the camera according to that.  Also, I still have questions about the proper way to shoot in the sun, because I don't know if it's best for the subject to stand with their back toward the sun, or facing it. I would like to learn more about others ways to export footage from a camera, because I'm curious of how to transfer video files to someone when I don't want to just loan them my SD card.
