Production Work: Equipment Used and Why

Our group was very limited in what equipment we had at our disposal. In the end, we used a tripod and a Canon Legira HF 606.
The tripod had an adjustable height, allowing us to film at different elevations, as well as having a spirit level, which allowed us to make sure our shots were level needed.
The Canon Legria HF 606 allowed us to film in full 1080 HD as well as having an optical image stabilizer which will help as we plan to shoot part of a scene whilst running, it also has a good built in  microphone which may mean that we do not have to add Foley sounds of the dialogue as the original audio could be clear enough.

One of the other options we has was a flip video camera. We decided against using this as I had personal experience with using it the year before and found the quality very poor of both the resolution and sound. Also, if we were to have used the flip video camera we would not have been able to use the tripod as they did not fit together.
