P2(A) SETTING UP EQUIPMENT

This section includes a summary of the equipment we used for filming and the shots we captured using them. We only used three main pieces of equipment, the additional resources we considered props. The camera, lens and crane we these essential pieces of equipment and we had to ensure they we set up correctly, especially when putting together the crane. The risks assessment had to be considered and referred to when filming with the crane, as it was positioned above where one of our actress's was. Therefore extra care had to be taken to ensure the safety of the actress, so we handled the crane with care and made sure everything was locked and put into place before using it.

P2(a) Setting up appropriate equipment

Canon 7d - lens: canon 18-55mm zoom f/3.5-5.6 mf/af (wide angle) & canon EF 85mm fixed f/1.8 USM medium telephoto mf/af
The images to the right demonstrate the frames I captured with the CANON 7D, LENS 18-55MM ZOOM F/3.5.-5.6 MF/AF (WIDE ANGLE.) This was fun to work with as it allowed for a clear picture and the zoom feature was easy to operate. I have had experience using this lens and camera before, therefore filming was fairly straight forwards as I knew how to use the camera effectively. I used this for most of my portrait shots as it allowed me to change the distance of angle relatively easily.
Tripod - Velbon DV6000 tripod + Carry bag.
As demonstrated before, the still images from my film represent the shots that I took using the tripod. These shots I wanted the frames to be still and even, therefore I used the tripod in order to capture these images effectively. The image above is a portrait frame, that I wanted to focus on the character in the shot. The image below is more of an establishing shot which I thought was very important to make sure it was still so the audience could establish a clear idea of the area.
The crane shown on the left was used to capture the shots on the right. I wanted to use a crane because I needed to capture a higher angle, especially for these shots shown above. A high angle shot was required in order to establish the area of the shot, but also to show a larger range of the surroundings and to create a clearer frame.
The image on the right demonstrates the booking sheet I had to fill out to book out the equipment I needed to produce my film. This was important as it was signed that I was taking responsibility for the equipment so I would be liable if it came back damaged or I lost a piece of equipment.
