Equipment

 


No filming can happen without the equipment. The camera is responsible for video recording, sound engineering is responsible for audio recording and footage card saves the footages we got while filming.


For video recording I will be using the DSLR camera Nikon. They are small and light and with many modern features, an electronic viewfinder and access to the great range of mirrorless lenses.


For sound recording I will have a boom microphone. It offers the high quality sound by capturing certain sounds without capturing any ambient noise. It will be especially useful for recording the side effects sound for post production.

Another useful equipment for filming is the camera tripod. It's very important because it helps to make camera focus on one position and it holds it very tight. If you film without using tripod, your camera would will twitch because of your hands shaking.

For filming I will also be using my phone. During the Christmas holidays because I won't be able to take a big equipment I will film instead the establishing shots on my Iphone 12. By the time the holidays end, I will have the finished short film script so at school I will finally start filming.

Average Short Film Budget

  Considering that the short film is obviously shorter than feature-length, the less locations take place, the less amount of actors involved, the production itself takes not so much time, so as a result the budget of these films will be way, way lower. Because my film is the Year 13 advanced portfolio, I am not going to have a budget and no one is going to be paid for production. However, while doing the filmmaking, we use the expensive equipment which is the digital camera, camera stand, microphone, sound recording. We're not paying for it for my film but that's what the team usually does when they make a professional movie. Of course with the rise of Internet everyone is able to create a unique project which doesn't have to cost money. Basically, everyone is able to film a short movie even on his or her phone. But I was talking about the film in which a large team is involved, something which is the work not only of one person (director/screenwriter) but also of everyone...

Evaluation of My Preliminary Task 2023

During this weekend I have filmed the short extract which will then be developed into a big short film which I'll release in the end. Though in my opinion, for preliminary task the job was done pretty well, I still think that there are some aspects to improve. The first thing to which I payed attention to is the wind noise which interferes the audiences to immerse into the film. It happened because though I was given a mic, I found it useless because my extract didn't have any dialogues so as I thought, there was no point in regulating the sound, I was mistaken. When I start making my main task, I'll definitely use the mic in order to prevent such situations. Another thing which needs an improvement is the moment in extract when the protagonist sees the group of boys walking and then smiles. The thing is that in my script they had to be just one girl with whom male protagonist falls in love. In addition there had to be the close ups so the audiences would know what's so...
