We began gathering equipment in preparation for our film day on Monday February 17th, of what we may need.
Sound department:
Boom Pole, Shotgun Microphone, and XLR Cables
Since we will be filming in my bedroom, we don't need the LAV Mics for filming long-distance scenes. However, we will be using a shotgun microphone with the boom pole above the characters to ensure that we can still capture the audio during the dialogue. Madelyn will be holding the boom pole and making sure it is out of frame while filming so the audience can't see it.
Camera Department:
Canon EOS Camera with 18-45 mm lens, and SD Card
We chose to borrow our classes Canon EOS Camera to get the clearest shots for our film. Doing this will allow us to film with the right equipment, like a professional film crew. The camera has both a mount and a microphone, so we will use these throughout each scene.
Shoulder Rig
Having the shoulder rig will allow the camera to move around while getting any handheld shots. It will provide a secure hand on the camera to minimize any shacky movements. The Shoulder rig will be utilized greatly for many of our medium shots of the characters.
Lighting Department:
We will be filming in the bedroom and opening the blinds for natural light, so we will not need any lighting equipment. The natural light through the windows will ensure the film is set in the morning/evening, impacting the overall mood. Once the Main Character moves out of the room down the hall to the front door, the natural light through the windows may be hidden slightly behind the curtains to change the mood of the next scene. However, we are not entirely sure of having a shadow cast or keeping the curtains open for natural lighting.
Additional Equipment:
Tripod
We will use the tripod to help me keep the camera steady throughout each scene. Without it the shots would not be as smooth. The tripod is also going to be great for the first scene of an establishing shot the bedroom and then any still shots.
Wheel Dolly
For the scenes where the characters move, we will use a dolly to track these movements. The wheels are a great bonus so the shots are smooth and steady and can get from point A to point B quickly. There are only a few pan shots that may use the wheel dolly. It is subjected to change if we acquire any other ideas for a certain scene.
