Equipment needed for filming

To ensure we used our time for shooting effectively, we had a lesson on how to use a manual camera, working focus and how to use a Zoom Handy Recorder to record sound. This will ensure our trailer is a professional looking piece. With the manual focus, we learnt that we are able to focus on one specific object/person, whilst the background can be blurred, this works both ways and if we wanted to blur the protagonist, we could with the background in focus. We also learnt how to zoom and finalise our piece. 

With the Zoom Handy Recorder, we experimented with recorded from distances, and how close you had to be in order for the dialogue spoken to be clear. We will not be recording sound on the SLR camera as it would not be as effective as a Zoom Handy Recorder, so we had to ensure our sound was able to sync with film footage in perfect time. To do this successfully, we will have a loud noise at the start of each scene so it is made clear when putting footage together.
