Equipment Used (Sath)

For the filming we have decided to use several pieces of equipment, there are various equipment such as two SLR cameras, two tripods, led lighting, halogen lighting.

Nikon D5100

The Nikon D5100 is a SLR camera which is capable of recording full HD videos which is a reason why we was chose to use the camera. This camera is really useful as it is a SLR which includes all of its manual options which comes in handy when we want to adjust our footage before we edit which would make it easier to edit. Another reason is that, the camera has a flip out screen which has the ability to rotate and tilt. Using this screen, we would be able to film high angle and low angle shots which gives us  great flexibility while filming.

Nikon D3100

The Nikon D3100 is the second camera that we used which was supplied by our Media Studies teacher, it is also capable of capturing full HD videos. This camera also comes will other features that are available with the SLRs such as manual focus etc which allows us to take control over what we film and the outcome of the footage.

Jessops tripod

The Jessops TP323, is a tripod provided by our Media Studies teacher, the tripod had three levels of leg which allows us to film from various heights allowing us to achieve different angles of footage. It has a head which can rotate either 360 degrees horizontally and 80 degrees vertically. This gives us a lot of freedom of how we filmed using the tripod.

Hama star 62

The Hama star 62 is a tripod which also comes with three extendable legs. Having another tripod allows us to film from two different fixed points so even when we do cuts, the angle and height of the footage would not change which would make the film have more continuity to it.
