Equipment & Props

Equipment:

Camera

Advantages

-  Being small means it’s easier to carry around

- Portable - it can be taken anywhere we need to film

- Rechargeable battery- we don’t have to worry about batteries

Disadvantages

- Being small means it is fragile and easy to break

- The camera we are using is not made for the tripod we have so then it does not hold correctly in position which means are have to be very careful to get the shots in case the camera moves on its on out of position.

 - Disadvantage of a one-camera set-up is how more time-consuming it is as covering all camera shots and angles would mean having to repeat shots more than what a multi-camera set-up would require.

Tripod:

 

Advantages

- Stable shots, it holds the camera in a precise position. This gives you a sharp picture when it might have otherwise appeared blurred due to shake camera.

-Can adjust the height for different camera shots

- Rotation of the camera

Disadvantage

-Transporting/moving the tripod around when try to get another view to film

Props:

Newspaper

In our storyboard we incorporate a newspaper as a important prop as it had a hidden message on the front foreshadowing what was to come. That was the indicator for the audience to know something would happen because straight after in next edit has the characters dad shouting at him due to a letter from school.

Paper bags

 

The paper bag effect is to symbolise a distinctive difference between everyone else and the protagonist

Fake letter

This letter is a trigger for the world wind of events what will occur after
