Firstly, and most obviously we will be needing a camera to record our footage on. We are using Josh's camera as it is HD and will record the night scenes better than an ordinary camera. The memory is built in, meaning that we will not need to pick up a tape which is also one less thing for us to worry about.
Secondly, we will need a tripod in order to hold the camera steady. We have chosen to book the tripod which is easiest to pan on as this will make our panning smoother by us not having to worry about it jumping at the beginning of the pan. Our tripods also have a built in spirit level which will mean that our camera will always be level.
Thirdly, we will need a tripod adapter to fix the camera safely on the tripod.
Finally, we will need tracking equipment. We will use the dolly and the tracks to allow us to create a zoom affect in the scene with the black curtain in the background.
We have decided who in our group will be responsible for what and I have included information below, about who is taking on what role.
Me: I will be responsible for camera work, helping with sound and also monitoring costume
Josh: Josh will be responsible for helping with sound, actors and distributing scripts, and he is also chief editor
Sam: Sam will be responsible for helping with sound, managing props and monitoring continuity
Matty: Matty will be responsible for helping with sound and he is also taking on the role as director
My next post will be a comment on how shooting went for my group and I.
