Equipment List

• Video camera

We would be using a DSLR camera which makes it easy to be portable and carry into our locations for filming. It is also easier to control the settings of how the video will look, putting more control into our hands. 

• Tripod

We wold be using a tripod to steady the camera for certain shots where we aren't holding the camera ourselves. This will avoid camera shake and result in a smooth, professional picture.

• Portable lights

We would be using portable lights due to the restrictions of normal studio lights needed a plug socket. This means we would have lights for every shot, despite the location, which can only benefit us as we can now control the lighting of our shots.

• Light reflector

We would be using a light reflector in the production of our video as certain shots will be dark from angles. To avoid this when it's unwanted, the light reflector will bounce the light to where we want it and lighting up the shot how we want. We may have to make our own, but this is easy to achieve.

• External hard drive

An external hard drive might be used during the production of our video to save any work we have done and have a back-up. This is beneficial to us as it means we will always have our work with us and leaves plenty of memory space to take additional shots if we are undecided on a type of shot to use.

• Video editing software

The video-editing software we will be using is SonyVegas Pro due to us being familiar with the program. We have chose to do this as it is professional enough to make the video look presentable, but simple enough to navigate and to achieve what we want.

• Torch

A torch will be used as much of our filming is going to be done at night time. It's a requirement so we can see clearly where we are walking, which falls under health and safety requirements. We could also use it within the video as a prop, so this can be even more useful than originally planned.
