Pre Production - Equipment

These are some Photos of the equipment we're using for our production and what we used them for and why.

This is the 500 Watt Industrial Light we used for our production it has a adjustable pole for hight making it more mobile and help us create unique lighting effects we used this light for a couple of test shoots to help get the feel of an interigztion setting but when it came to actually filming we decided that it would be to powerful and bright and could actually ruin the feel of our interrogation setting so instead we used the lights that were already there giving us a spotlight effect.

The camera we used was a Cannon 550D we used this camera because we wanted a high quality clear image that would look visually appealing when we filmed the footage did seem slightly grainy but overall we were happy with the quality given by the 550D.



We used a Shotgun (Directional) Microphone that was attached to the top of the  Cannon 550D to give us a clear recording of the sound in front of the camera including the Actors and Sound Effects we originally wanted a Zoom for better and a more crisp sound quality but we had to go with this as it was the only one available at the time.

This is a Track and Dolly we used the track and dolly to get a smooth and subtle moving effect for our production to because we decided that we were going for more of a precise movement rather then using just our hands to move the camera which would result in a shakey effect which is not what we were after.

This is a Reflector its used to reflect the current light to try to give you dynamic and unique lighting effects we planned to use this for reflecting the light to try to enhance the visual look and get us a more dynamic lighting effect but we decided not to use this for our production due to the light being ultimately to bright and reflecting it would cause problems with big blotchy circles of light in shot.
