Camera's and Equipment

To create the opening sequence we have decided to use our own cameras to film. This is because the quality will be better and we will be able to achieve good depth of field shots. Also by using two high quality cameras we can film one scene once, with two different angles, so continuity will be much better than re-filming a scene for a different angle. The option of placing accessories such as microphones, and video lights is also available because both our cameras have hot shoe mounts. We will be using a simple lighting set-up using LED video lights, and we will use a light stand to support one of them so we can achieve even lighting. As we are filming a children's spy film, the shots will need to be quite fast and action packed. We will need to do a lot of tracking shots, and to eliminate any camera shake we will be using the 'Opteka X-grip' which will allow us to capture low shots smoothly whilst moving.

Cameras - Canon DSLR and Nikon DSLR
Lenses - Zoom lenses and a macro lens for close up shots

The second image shows an example of a multi-cam set-up, it shows four cameras instead of the two we will be using, however it explains the point of having two cameras rolling at once to capture different angles we will need to shoot if we only had one camera rolling.
