Preperation for filming

In order for me to film a successful trailer, it was key that I, myself ensured that I had a number of things to make the filming as professional as possible. I will make sure that to the cottage I take:
  • A video recording device and camera - to video the shots, plenty of footage and the stills for my poster and website home page.
  • A voice recorder - for voice over running throughout the trailer
  • A microphone - to pick up the sound of the actors for the dialogue that I want to be heard aside from the voice over
  • A small tripod - used for close ups of objects/people where the small tripod can be placed on a flat surface close to the object, this can be used to ensure the shot is steady and professional
  • A large tripod - to film the majority of my shots on to ensure that they are steady, professional and dont include any unprofessional shaking during filming when not necessary as this may harm the quality and professional feel of my trailer.
I aim to capture as much footage as I can as I am aware that there will be a large proportion of my footage that I will not chose to use due to errors that may occur or decision changes I may make along the way. This will make the editing process easier, allowing me to be very critical in selecting the shots and footage that I want to use. This will, ultimately result in the most professional, polished and impacting trailer possible.
