Equipment Taken To Filming Location
Horror Make-up
Even though those that are acting will already be in full costume and make-up, having a small amount of horror make-up on location, allows any corrections to be made in the event of clothing smudging the area or sweating.
First-Aid Kit
A first-aid kit containing plasters, bandages, antiseptic wipes and rubber gloves in the event of an injury (see risk assessment).
Food
Bring a packed lunch, drinks and snacks as where we plan to film doesn't have access to local shop.
Spare Clothing
Depending on what the weather is like, cast and crew could bring a spare hoody or jumper as the temperature may decrease.
Tripod
To help with the elevation and steadiness of the camera we are using to film with.
Rain Cover
To protect both cameraman and camera used to film with.
Spare Memory Cards
Encase there is very little or no filming space on the memory card already in the camera.
Sound Recording Microphone
To record ambient sound as well as actors voices.
Camera (Canon EOS 1100D)
To film the necessary shots needed to create our virus sub-genre teaser trailer.
Camera phone or Smartphone
If for any reason, the camera decided to stop working, my group and I can potentially use one of our phones to film the remainder shots needed for completion.
Camera DollyIn order to create a smooth, cinematic look to shots for our teaser trailer.
What the day consisted of
Dean and I decided to begin filming the beginning sequence of our teaser trailer. This sequence consists of our protagonist carrying out his everyday routine and order of events i.e. morning jog along the seafront whilst listening to music through his earphones. This sequence allows the audience to establish normality and the equilibrium the protagonist lives by which is to later be broken. I attempted to film alongside Dean using a medium close-up yet this unfortunately did not go to plan. Firstly, rain landed on the camera lens and secondly, the unstable steadiness of the camera dolly on the pavement meant that keeping track of Dean at the same pace as he was running was difficult; this
meant that he would occasionally move out of frame.
