2. Pros and Cons:
DSLR Camera:
The camera has a lot of benefits and nearly no
problems. It is easy to take pictures and videos and it
is very easy to extract the product from it, but the only
problem the camera has is its recording system and
thats why we will need sound equipment.
Tripod:
The tripod is a very useful piece if equipment which
helps us take shots with out the scene being unstable,
the only problem with the tripod we have is that its
really big and time consuming to setup.
Shoulder mount:
The shoulder mount is very useful to use as we move
to s keep the shot steady, but its very hard to do it and
the slightest movement will ruin the whole video.
Gimbal:
The gimbal helps us produce footage whiles moving
around the characters and move up and down with
out ruining the shots, but its only problem is the set
up it takes a lot of time to set it up and needs at
least 2 people to set it up.
