Evaluation Activity: Equipment and Technology

For my Film I used the following equipment:

1. Canon 650D (T4i)

2. Canon18-55mm Lens

3. Canon 50mm lens

4. Hama Traveller Compact Pro Tripod

5. RODE VideoMic

6. 2.3 GHz Apple Mac Mini

7. Final Cut Express

- On my film, I used different lenses for the first time. I feel as if the use of a 50mm lens made the close up shots, for example the ones during the scene in the grandpa's house, look much better. 

- Also, the RODE VideoMic allowed me to record better audio for the film. Recordings of the ocean and footprints would usually be ruined by the sound of the wind, had I been using the inbuilt mic in the camera. The use of an external mic improved the audio.
