Equipment and Software

For our shooting we will be using a range of equipment. Firstly and most importantly, we will be using a SONY Handycam HDV 108i. This will be the only camera used at all time throughout our shooting. We chose to use a small Handycam as this will allow us the easiest and greatest movement in our filming. We have also had a lot of practice using the camera from last year and know how to use each setting saving us time so we don't have to learn how to use any other camera, making best use of our day of filming.

We also used a Manfrotto tripod to ensure all our shots are level and steady. The tripod is easily manoeuvrable which will help us to capture the right shots at each location, and we can also easily set the right height.

Additionally, we will be using an imac for our editing process and we will be using Final Cut Express and imovie software's for editing the film. Both are easy to use, accessible and will help us to create the best video possible. Furthermore, We plan to capture the footage in imovie and then move it to final cut express to do the further editing needed as it is is lightly more advance in what can be achieved in reference to effects.We are also going to use a flash light app on a Samsung Galaxy SII, it has a strobe setting which we will use to re-create the lighting for a 'Party' atmosphere. This hopefully will also look slightly 'Stop Motion' gaining an effect that we originally wanted to use but didn't have the time for.
