2. Equipment
• Camera- the camera is going to be used as a prop as well as to shoot the film. This means
my camera is going to be actor operated as my film is a found footage/mockumentary.
• Boom mic and pole- The boom mic and pole will also be actor operated. This is going to be
visible on camera so that it makes the crew look more realistic.
• Wind shield- This will help the mic look more professional as well as suppressing the wind
sounds.
• Audio recorder- This will be used to actually record the audio.
• Tripod- This is going to be used sparingly as the majority of the film is going to be hand held
however it will make the documentary half of the film look more professional.
• Florescent paint and UV light- This will be used to highlight the monsters eyes making an
animal like effect.
• Security Camera and laptop- I will use this camera to capture animals and also the
monster. The footage will be played on a laptop on camera to act as equipment the crew
uses to find animals. This will help make the mockumentary half look more real as well as
being a good horror gimmick.
