Lighting equipment

The lights which we will be using are:

Arri 650w Tungsten Fresnel

These lights allow us to follow the three point lighting rule and light the characters features as well as scenery.

Arri Minicyc Tungsten Floodlight

This filmlight will allow us to create a general wash over certain scenes as well as help in achieving certain shots such as the silhouette desired in the window shot.

Uni-com LED lantern

These Uni-com LED lights allow us to highlight specific features on the characters face as well as emphasising wounds.  The lights are extremely light and portable allowing us to use them even working on difficult locations.

Camera equipment

The cameras which we will be using are:

Canon 550d

This DSLR camera will achieve professional quality footage and allows total control over exposure, allowing us to shoot exactly as we wish to. It works with detachable lenses also allowing us more freedom over the shots that we take.

We will use a 18-55mm lens for wide angle, close up to mid shots.

We will then use a 55-250mm lens for mid to long shots. this lens will be particularly useful when taking the high angle sniper shot.

We also will be using a Nikon D6000 for still shots. This is a high quality photography camera that will allow us to capture professional imagery for use in our poster and website.

Sound equipment

When filming our trailer, we will be using a Zoom H4n sound recorder. It has stereo sound, and is light and compact and easy to transport when filming on location. It is also very simple to use but achieves high quality, professional results.

As you can see from the control panel on the side, there is a headphone port, allowing the member of crew in charge of sound to use headphones to have a live feed of the sound they are recording without external interference. This will allow us to be sure we have good recordings before the end of the filming day to avoid the need to refill.

By using a wind sock to cover the cross mics, we will prevent bad quality sound recordings by eliminating wind interference. We can also mount the zoom recorder onto the camera and hand held steady cam mount to record sound in the hand held tracking shots that we will be filming, as it will allow us to keep the mic close to the actors even in running shots.
