REBORN: Props/Equipment

There are a number of things we'll need for the film; behind and in front of the camera.

Equipment we'll need include:
HDV1000
I used this camera last year for AS media, but we didn't shoot in HD, which we will be doing this year.
HD footage gives a much clearer, sharper image. Using this camera helps us achiever a more professional look.
To contribute even further to the professional look is the way the camera is handled. This includes using both a steadicam and tripod.
I hope to practise using the steadicam a little more before the day of filming.

Arguably, an even further way of achieving a professional film is the quality of the audio. This includes both audio quality and music.
We will be recording most of the audio, particularly conversations, with the H4 Zoom recorder. It has much higher quality audio, with the only draw being the battery life and memory card limits (depending on what format audio you record in, the suggested being WAV).

We will also most likely require some kind of lighting for the closet scenes. Adie's dad has access to floodlights because he works in archaeology. See the 'Lighting' post for more information on lighting and possible options for filming.

Props we'll need include;
A torch; powerful enough to illuminate a closet sufficiently, but not big enough to break the illusion of the scene (for example, a heavy-duty torch would be too large and inappropriate).

We will also require flowers (tied to a lamppost). Obviously, we won't need as many as in the picture to the left, just a
small amount to express the idea of a death nearby.
We also need a picture and frame; we'll be taking a picture of Ivy, Beth and Lily together (as a family photo for the film).

Ivy also requires a school bag or a general rucksack.
