Prop List

Our filming has been planned so it just covers the specifications required to get top grades, we don't want to elaborate in fear of making the final product look cheap and taccy. Don't threat however, we will satisfy an A grade with other elements of our title sequence. The props we will require are simply and easy to find.
  • Firstly we will need Ollie's HD camera to film, we have chosen to use this camera rather than a Media Department supplied camera because 1.It is a better quality and make a film smoother and less pixelated in the final cut. 2. We will not have any restrictions on when we can film and our out of college filming won't be rushed. This is all subject to whether the camera is compatable with the Mac's we shall use for editing. Although this technically isnt a prop I thought it would be a good idea to include it in the list as it will spell out to you, as the marker, intricate details of our plan.
  • Another piece of equipment we will be bringing from home is my digital camera, we would prefer to use a home camera because it would allow us to take it home and upload the photos to email and then send them in to our macs at colleege. It will minimise stages in which we take and upload photos ultimately cutting time and meaning we can get other things done.
  • The first prop we will need for actual filming is a microphone. In the scene where there is a news report the reporter will require a microphone to speak in to to make the scene look realistic. I am pondering on whether to give the actor, who is yet to be identified, a piece of A4 paper so it appears that the event is so recent he is first on scene and hasn't had time to revise what he is planning to say. I can supply a microphone from home which may be able to plug in to Oli's camera meaning the report will truly sound realistic. If we can't find a suitable microphone from home we will ask around college.
  • Other props come under the other post detailing costumes.
