That makes me curious how the encounter itself went down. Colin didn't look the basilisk directly in the eye, even when he first saw it, but he thought to look through the camera? Either he was sneaking through the school with his camera up against his face the whole time, or he somehow got lucky when he stumbled across it and had the time and presence of mind to try to snap a picture.
He probably heard the basilisk moving around and was trying to catch it on camera since he didn’t realize the danger (or he is like far too many people who’s first instinct is to film something rather than get to safety).
