Construction Post 1: Our Production Kit

Our production kit included a camera, headphones, mic, tripod and a clapper board

Our kit

Our camera is a Canon Legria HFG30. We used the headphones to make sure that the sound was correct and that there was not any background noise. We used the mic to pick up the dialogue clearly and sounds at the lake such as ducks. We used the tripod to change the height of the camera and subsequently change the angle of the shots.

The kit and the clapper board

This shows the clapper board which we used to easily record down the shot and take number which saved time in editing when we watched them back as we quickly named the shots.

My skills using the camera have developed significantly and I am now confident using it-which will be essential for future media projects.
