Construction Post 1: Our Production Kit

The kit release form we were required to complete

Our production kit included a camera, which was the most important part of the whole kit, as without it we wouldn't be able to shoot any footage.

Tripod: This was used to help keep the camera stable during static shots and to smooth out pans. It also allowed us to keep the camera in the same place between takes without having to put the camera down.

Microphone and headphones: This was used to capture diagetic sound and dialogue without picking up a large amount of background noise as would usually happen if sound was recorded with just the camera.

Dolly: We were planning to use this for camera movement but ultimately did not use it.

Lighting kit: We used this to light up the stalker shots from outside, looking into the house, as it was otherwise too dark inside to properly see what was happening. We used two lights to light separate sections of the room.
