LO2: Evidence of setting up equipment

Setting up equipment for shooting

Here is the crew setting up and doing an equipment check before going out to shoot, we wanted to ensure that all equipment was ready for filming and present, this including checking crucial elements such as battery level in the cameras and making sure we had all lenses needed.

Heres a picture demonstrating the camera being fixed onto the tripod in preparation of filming.
The camera used is a cannon 550D, by using a DSLR this created a professional atmosphere and a higher quality of shooting.
To accompany the camera we also paired it with both standard and a wide lens to ensure that we would have a varied quality of footage.



Here is a selection of the cameras used to shoot the footage, by having multiple cameras used by several crew members at the same time it allows more footage and different angles of the same footage.
This image also demonstrates the varied lenses that we used, and shot on, when we shoot the interview with Mathew we will take a camera that has a built in microphone to ensure the highest quality sound.

 Here demonstrates more tripod preparation and planning, its crucial that we use a tripod to ensure footage is straight and level throughout as this makes the footage appear much more professional.
It was important to make sure we took a tripod due to us planning to get panning shots which would need a tripod to ensure the footage stayed level throughout.

Here is a video to further demonstrate our filming practices, as you can see we are set up at the top of the amphitheatre this being a great view of the Sheffield cityscape. 

The tripod itself was placed on flat and stable ground this ensuring that nothing would topple or break, this demonstrating good practice of filming techniques and awareness of the surrounding environment. 

The four crew who are filming are all doing their designated roles, and ensuring that the footage gained is usable and fitting to the pre-production documents.
