Equipment list

Item Why am I using it

Cannon EOS 2000D
This is the camera that I will be using to
shoot all of my footage on, I will be using
the regular lens on the camera for all shots.
This is the Camera that I have used in my
previous productions and have always been
pleased with the quality of the footage it
gives. I will use it when filming interviews,
piece to cameras and b-roll footage.
I will need to make sure that I adjust the
white balance accordingly depending on the
environment that I am in and to have an idea
of what the setting is like in each location.
I will be using a tripod when interviewing
my subjects and for the Pieces to cameras
that I have planned. I will put the camera on
the tripod to hold my camera so that I can
adjust the height and be hands free when
filming these things and allow me to get
different angles. I need to remember to
bring this with me everywhere I film
I will be using a lav mic on my interviewees
during their interviews and on myself
during my piece to camera. This will help to
make the sound better quality and ensure
that the audience is able to hear everything
that is said by these people. I just have to
rember to bring the zoom recorder to plug
into this and make sure this is plugged into
it.
I will be plugging the Lav mic into the
zoom recorder that I will give to the
interviewees and myself, and record on my
camera and the zoom recorder then clap so
that when I am editing I can tell where I
want them to match up. I am going to make
sure that the clap is clear so that the visuals
and audio match up when I am editing.
 I am going to use a camera mounted light
when filming indoors to harness the subjects
features and to make the lighting better
quality. I haven’t used lighting equipment
before, but the lighting in my past
productions haven’t been great so I want to
try and make this better for this production.
I need to make sure that the light is used in
an appropriate way on a setting that fits.
