Camera - Canon 7D DSLR + Battery






Those images shows the camera Canon 7D DSLR which we have been using nearly at all the time to film. This camera allowed us to take different shots with the use of different lenses.

32GB Compact flash card

This flash card was always in our Canon 7D DSLR camera where the all footage have been saved. After every time we done our filming, we would have to transfer the data to our laptops.

Sony HVR-Z5E + Battery




We have been using this camera to film the high angle shots with the use of crane. There are some examples of those shots :

This shot was taken while we were filming our 5th scene in dining hall. We were using crane to take good high shot which will show the establishment of dinning hall atmosphere.

Canon 50 mm f/1.8 mf/af. 


This lens is giving you a normal human eye effect. Therefore, we were using this lens to film our 10th,11th and 12th scene. There are some pictures to show those shots:



Canon 18-55mm zoom f/3.5-5.6 mf/af 

This lens gives wide angle which we haven't use a lot, unfortunately, but there were some shots where this lens was essential. For example our 8th scene ( Kent College's main entrance )


Canon 18-55 mm  zoom f/3.5-5.6 USM mf/af (wide angle) 


This lens allows you to film using dolly and the footage will be high quality even if the camera was shaking. This lens decreases has better focus then the previous lens and the footage will not be as blurry as if you would use Canon 18-55 mm  zoom f/3.5-5.6 mf/af. Therefore, we have used this lens in the same shot ( 8th ), so that the quality of the footage would be high.


Rode VideoMic-R Shotgun

 This is a Rode VideoMic-R Shotgun or a microphone which is usually goes on the top of camera. Really effective peace of material and is essential for this type of media, which my group was doing. This microphone helped us to record all the sound which is in the video. Unfortunately, we haven't made any pictures of it by ourself, but you can watch our video to make sure that it was used.

Tripod - Velbon DV6000 + carry bag 


The tripod is essential part of equipment as well as camera, because tripod alloys us to steady and focus our camera so the footage will be high quality. Therefore we have made sure that we use it at all the time. There are some pictures of us using it:


PS-Hague Pro Steadymount




Steady mount is a really useful peace of equipment as well, but we did use it a lot, because nearly all our shots have been based in one place, except of the 8th shot where we have used the Canon 18-55 mm  zoom f/3.5-5.6 mf/af lenses.

Dolly – Velbon DL-11





Dolly - very useful equipment if you are filming how someone is walking. We have used this equipment again in the 8th shot when our actress was followed by 2 guys. This is a picture of this shot :

Canon camera bag




Camera bad is essential equipment, because it protects camera in case it falls. Therefore, we have used this bad at all the time.

K9 - Hague CamCrane With Stand & Camera Tilt Control and  Lilliput 668 GL-70NP/H/Y Monitor.










Those two peaces of equipment we have used to film high angle shot in our 5th scene in the dinning hall. There is a picture of this shot:

KIT-N15-DRIVE - Ianiro Gulliver Lighting Kit  






Light kit is really important peace of equipment, which is useful in dark rooms, where you can make professional lightings. We have used this this kit while we were shooting 10th and 12th scenes. There are some pictures of them:
