Getting Equipment


As you might be aware, this Wednesday (less than 2 days time) we are starting to film!! It seems very soon, but luckily, we have had the time to plan very extensively, and so we all feel very prepared. However, there are still some very important things that we still need, for example, the tripod and the dolly!
We weren't aware until the last day of term, but another group (in the other class) needed the HD camera as well as us, and so we weren't able to take it straight from school, and we needed to work out with Sarah and Danni getting hold of everything. They needed basically all the equipment that we wanted, the camera, the dolly and the tripod, and originally Gemma was going to get all of the equipment from Sarah, who lives near her. However, whilst Gemma has the camera, the tripod and dolly are still with Danni and so I am hopefully going to collect them tomorrow.
Also, tomorrow I need to test out the 500W light that my step-dad has, to make sure that it will be suitable to light the outdoor set that we are going to use. Luckily the light has a generator that should work with it, so we don't need to worry about finding a power source or anything (which would prove very difficult as Ickworth House is shut this week). So basically, as long as I can get hold of the equipment tomorrow, we should be set!

  1. I ended up emailing her too, so her inbox must have been over-run with media related enquiries the poor girl!
    Well thank goodness everything has been tracked down now :)
