Equipment

We have chosen to use our own equipment because of the schools lack of cameras. For our main camera we will be using a Nikon D3100. The benefits of this is that we can change the lens on the camera depending on the shot we want. The camera allows us to manually focus during shots in order to get the perfect focus on each shot.











For audio we are going with a standalone setup. We will be using a Sony PX440 audio recorder along with a shotgun Mic. We have chosen to go with a standalone audio setup because the automatic audio gain on the Nikon ruins the audio on shots. So during the editing stage we can sync the audio to the clips to have high quality audio.





We are using a shotgun mic along with a "Dead cat" cover. This will allow us to use the mic in windy conditions. We are using one shotgun mic because it is omnidirectional so we can have two people talking at the same time and still pick both voices up. It just allows us to be more versatile with our shots.







The last piece of equipment we will be using is a GoPro camera. This camera will allow us to get shots where the other camera may be damaged. With a GoPro we can securely mount it to a plethora of different surfaces.
