Planning: Equipment and Software

For the equipment within our media we have chosen to use the best and most available equipment we can at the time of filming, trying our best to make the most professional and effective short film we can. This is the reason behind the equipment we have chosen.

For our first piece of equipment, we have chosen to use a Nikon DSLR D3300. Providing us with the best 1080 HD recording options for our film. Adding the impact of focus to our short film and the variety of options to use while filming e.g zoom.

We have chosen to film with the Magnus PC-7451. This tripod will provide the best stability on our film when we need it. We provide us the ability to use a variety of different shots with its high and low angle change, and can easily pan with it as well. The grip on the tripod will make sure the shots we film will have steadiness and create a professional outlook.

The lighting in which we will use for our film  will be the LED380 Barndoor Video Lights. These lights are mostly used for interviews therefore extremely professional. This gives us the light if we need to make those exact shots that we want. 

This SD card will give us the opportunity of filming a vareity of different shots without the worry of running out of storage. As it was provided by the school it was a easy option for us to choose.

To edit everything on we have chosen to use the Apple iMac 21.5inch. It has a 4k retina display which allows us the best ability to edit and watch back footage on. It is a reliable piece of technology so we will know that we will be able to save everything on the machine we are using.

For editing on we will be using Adobe Premier Pro CC 2015. This piece of editing software is a very professional piece, providing us with the best possible outcomes on our film. It has many various examples of making your footage and other aspects to you film very professional.

For out titles and text bubble effect, we will be using Adobe After Effects CC 2015, as this will provide us the ability to create realistic animations within our footbage and create professional titles to use.
