We will be using a dolly mainly so that we can have the tracking shot of the main characters walking into the room through the door. The dolly will allow us to do it so that it is nice and smooth and without it being shaky. We can also adjust it so that it is near the ground this means that we can follow the footsteps of the characters. The dolly that we will be using will only be a small one that we can push along the floor rather thana big one that can be sat one. The dolly will only be used for a small amount of the filming but it will still help us get the effect that we want.
A tripod is used to stabilize and elevate a camera. All tripods have three legs and a mounting head to couple with a camera. There is a type of mechanism that allows you to rotate and tilt the camera when it is mounted on the tripod. We will be using a tripod to raise the camera to the preferred height and to steady the camera to make shots smoother. All tripods have three legs so you can have a variation of heights and a mounting head to support the camera. We will be using the tripod to achieve different camera angles.
We will be using a HD camera to film our entire piece. This is to ensure a good qualtiy piece of filming. The camera can be handheld or placed on a tri-pod to use when filming. Using the camera handheld means we will be able to achieve all the camera angles we have planned to use in our piece but however can be shaky so it is sometimes prefered to use the tripod to aid with steadiness. The camera is easy to use and enables us to take many clips which we can then edit later on the Mac - Final cut express software.
