Planning: Filming Equipment

The main camera that we will be using for filming our short film is the Panasonic Lumix GH4. This camera is capable of filming in 4K, whilst still being compact and portable, therefore making it the perfect fit for our project. It also features settings such as brightness adjustments and focus control, which will ultimately give us more control over what the shot will look like.


We will also be using the Canon G7 Mark II as a secondary camera for more crowded filming locations. This camera also films in HD so we will be able to achieve high quality shots, however it is much smaller than the GH4 and will therefore make it easier for us to capture shots in locations such as a concert or a crowded shopping centre.


For many of the shots we will be using a tripod to film. We have chosen to use the Velborn CX 888, as this is a tripod that Lucy already owns. This piece of equipment will allow us to capture professional, steady footage at varying angles and distances.


We will also be using a dolly for certain scenes such as the opening shot of our character blowing out the candles on her birthday cake. We have chosen to use a dolly as we will be able to achieve a more professional and steady camera movement. The model we are going to use is the Velborn D-11, which we will be hiring out from the school.
