Shooting the film

Me and my group shot our film on the 27th November 2011. To do this we used a Canon EOS 550D camera.

This camera has 18mp and shoots high definition (HD) video which gave us  high quality  footage.

We also used a heavy weight tripod such as this one, because after completing a preliminary task without one, we realised how much having steady footage improved the film. There were several advantages to using a tripod:

• It gave us steady footage, even when shooting on uneven ground like the woods
• It allowed us to create pan and track shot, both of which we needed for our title sequence
•  It allowed us to use different angles shots as it had extendable legs

Before we went out to film we had to be prepared for all weathers, so we brought large golfing umbrellas, raincoats and wellies to make sure that we could protect our equipment and keep ourselves dry so we could get the filming done.
