We found the equipment itself fair easy to understand and use, this is mainly due to the practice lesson we did at the beginning of the year which helped us know everything we needed to know for all the equipment we’d be using.
Although it was the middle of the day when we were due to film, therefore lighting wouldn’t really be an issue, we decided to book out 2 light panels anyway to help give a more professionalism to the film. We found that this did give the desired effect and gave a more crisp and clean finish to our film.
Although we didn’t have any dialogue in the film, we still booked a mic and audio recorder to record any ambient sound to make the film look more realistic and believable as well as getting as much use and practice with all the equipment we could to develop our skills for when we film our final project.
