Shooting schedule and equipment list

Introduction

This blog post will include the information of a shooting schedule and the equipment list for our 5 minute single camera production.

Equipment list & Location

We have decided to shoot our 5 minute single camera product in a desolate house, which we have got permission to use. Our deadline for the project is Thursday 28th March 2013, so we need to get filming done asap (hopefully by next week - 14/03/2013) to make sure that we fit in enough time for post-production elements and editing.

The equipment and props that we need are;

HD Canon camera and charger
SD memory card and reader
Tripod
Apple mac
Microphones/boompoles
Regular home items, e.g. chair, table, etc

We have decided that we do not want to use any artificial lighting, e.g. key, filler or back lighting as we want our film to have a dark and eerie natural feel. So we are going to be relying on the natural lighting around us to film.
