Planning - Equipment

Here is the equipment I have used to film with.


- DV tape to film on
Filming onto DV tapes are again not ideal as it is easier to use SD cards or camera's with hard drives. However it is small and compact and can be imported onto the Mac computers which I will use for editing.



- JVC DV cassette camcorder
This camera is not ideal as there are many other better camera's on the market, however this was the only one available to me and it films on 16:9 ratio widescreen and with reasonable quality. It films onto DV tapes and has an optical zoom so will allow me to film my trailer.


 
- Universal filming tripod
This has helped to the hold a steady shot when filming with my video camera, has allowed me to pan, track and tilt the camera with smooth movement.
