Filming Eqipment

Camera - I have managed to use a Nikon D5100. I have seen shots from it before and the it films in good quality which is good for my trailer as I want to focus on facial expressions. It has a 18-55 mm lens of it and this will be useful, especially in shots 7, 21, 22.

Tripod - I have a Hama Tripod which taller than many other tripods. The tripod will allow me to keep the camera still so I can focus on certain points and it also wont shake. It will also be useful for shot 28 because it requires a pan.

Final Preperations


I bought some black spray paint and coated parts of the guns to make them look more realistic. I also sprayed parts of the light brown as it gave them a very used look which is what I wanted to achieve. I left part of the light that shows when you pull the trigger unpainted because it looks like real gunfire from the right angle on camera.


I also printed off a copy of the script I wrote and highlighted what shots I need to film on the day. This is really helpful as it allows me to organise my filming and also focus on certain shots.
