2. Video Camera.
After trialling a few different
camera’s this was the one that we
found easiest to use and the one
that we thought had the highest
quality outcome –something we
thought is very important to
create a successful end product.
We wanted to make sure that the
battery was substantial and long-
lasting due to the fact that we
were filming a lot of our shots
outdoors with no source of
electricity. This camera is HD
(high-definition) causing a more
professional, clearer end result.

3. Tripod.
A tripod is essential for our filming in
order to keep the camera steady and
straight, hopefully making our film look
a lot more professional and thought
through. Also, we have planned to use
the tripod as a camera boom for our
crane and high angled shots by pushing
the legs together and reaching it up into
the air as one. This will allow us to use
many more shot types, angles and
techniques to add different effects and
perspectives for the audience to create a
much more interesting, varied overall
production.

4. Macbook.
We will use the school Macbooks
for many things but primarily
their key use is allowing us to
edit our footage on iMovie (a
pre-loaded apple programme).
iMovie allows us to do multiple
things such as add music, edit
the footage together, alter
colourings, zoom in or out,
straighten, smooth, reverse and
speed up or slow down shots.

5. SD card.
The SD card goes straight into the
video camera that we are using so
all of our footage will be saved
directly on to it. This provides us
with a simple way to save all of our
footage together in the same place
and transfer it straight onto the
macs and iMovie when we need it.
It also means we can save all our
clips and store them until we need
them. It will mean our clips are in
2 places (mac and SD card) so it
backs them all up in case anything
happened to the school mac.
