Filming at Royal Quays Marina

Today we all went down Royal Quays Marina where we filmed some of the narrative. The scenes we filmed were the ones towards the end of the video therefore we scheduled our filming time so that it was going to be dark when we filmed. We used the LED lights in order to make sure that the lighting looked professional and you could see everything clearly. To ensure our lighting looked professional we also used the button circled red below to lock the lighting. This made sure that the lighting wouldn't change as we moved the camera. For example we used this when filming outside to stop the sky from turning white and lighting up the full shot.

Other equipment that we used today includes:
  • Shoulder mount- used for tracking shots
  • Fixed lens- used for still shots when intending to do deep focus' and shallow focus'
  • Dolly- Also used for tracking shots however we didn't find this peace of equipment as effective as the shoulder mount as it was very bumpy which therefore didn't look very professional on the camera
  • Heavy tripod- Used to ensure that all static shots looked professional by being straight
