Equipment (By Faye Callaghan)

For our Documentary we will be using a range of different eqipment in order for us to film or interviwes and cut aways to a high standard. This will include the items bellow plus more:- 

The camera we will be using is called PD170 and we will be using this to film our documentary interviews and cut aways.

Throughtout our filming we will be having the camera on a tripod. We will use this to make our documentary look more real and professional. We will also be using it for our cutaways to give a good quality image.

The PD170 comes with a microphone however it doesnt give the best quality sound so we have chosen to use a tie clip microphone to give the best quality sound in order for our documentary to sound professional.

We will be using headphones during filming to hear the sound, this is important for the camera or sound person so they can make sure the sound is perfect. This also helps because we know what it sounds like on location instead of taking it back to the editing suit and realising its wrong, then you can film the take again.

Paglight, This is a light that can be used to create a silhouette effect on a person for example if the person doesn't want their face to be shown we can create a dark effect over their face so all we can see it their outline. Also if we film in the dark/dark lighting it aids us in seeing.
