Chain Productions: Equipment

Troughout the film making process we will use a various amount of technology and equipment that will help enhance our Final product of a teaser trailer.

Canon EOS 7D Video Camera

The Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR Camera is what we will be using to shoot our teaser trailer, we will also be using it to take practice shots. The camera is built with an intelligent viewfinder to help which allows a complete and natural view when shooting our trailer, it is also 18 megapixel camera which will also help our group in delivering a high quality piece of work. Due to the camera having a high ISO with speeeds up to 6400 this will allow us to shoot in low light scenes where flash is undesirable, this is very important in producing a trailer with low key lighting.

Gorillapod

The Gorillapod is a much more practical tripod, its flexible, wrappable legs allows us to connect it to professional camera equipment weighing up to 3 kg to virtually any surface, therefore expanding the range of shots we as are capable of capturing. The Gorilla pod consists of high quality injection moulded plastic that will stay firm after lots of action, therefore we shouldn't have any problems with continued use of the gorilla pod.

LED Liht 16 x 9

These are small LED lights 16 x 9, this will be used as hand held lights to generate the effect that we are trying to achieve as a group. They are also able to attach to DSLR Camera allowing for my flexibility and creativity in our shots. We are also able to control how powerful we would like the light to be to get our desired effect.

Kino Flo Diva Lite 400/800

The Kino Flo Diva Lite is designed specially for digital video capture and will give a professional look to our teaser trailer, it produces a broad soft and diffuse light, this piece of equipment is ideal shoot for location work as it isn't too hard to move with it. There is no need for a cool down period with these lights which will decrease the amount of time needed to shoot the film, it also has additional dimming switches to control the lighting which will be important in our trailer.

Vinten Pro 5 Tripod

The Vinten Pro 5 tripod is what will be attached to a DSLR camera, this tripod will enable us to shoot a staedy film it enables us to pan and tilt effectively and efficiaently, the tripod is lightweight and therefore has practiacl advantages when switching location or moving positions.
