1. Equipment List
Canon EOS 100D Camera
I am using this camera as it is easy to use, especially as I have
experience withthismodel,andishighqualitywhichwillenhancemy
footage andaddprofessionalismtomyfilmopening.Due toitssmaller
size, it is portable which is ideal as my opening takesplace in several
locationsandis alsovery easyto handle - ideal asI have small hands,
therefore my dexterity filming scenes without the tripod will be
improved.AnothermajorreasonI have chosento use thisis because
I own one,therefore Ican be more flexible withfilmingandcan have
extra, unscheduled sessions if required.
Tripod
For the majority of my shots I will be using a tripod to minimise
unprofessional shakinessorotherunintentional products of filmingon
a handheldcamera.Asthe ‘shaky’effectfromnotusinga tripodis not
commoninthe dramagenre I will tryandavoidit as muchas I can and
keep the footage smooth and professional-looking. I have a tripod of
my ownthat I can use whichis optimal formy filmingprocessincase I
need to use it for longer than expected or at an unscheduled time,
which wouldn’t be possible if I was borrowing school equipment.
8GB Samsung SDHC EVO Memory Card
I think that this memory card is appropriate for my filming as it has enough
storage to fitall of my footage,includingouttakesandpracticesthat I wantto
keep to evaluate and use the best parts of, even in high quality.
