Equipment Planning

The equipment that we used consisted of some physical some virtual:

Cameras:

Nikon D7000 Dslr camera
18-55mm lens F1.4

An incredible camera perfect for capturing light and depth of field. To be used for stationary or panning shots. Only where the camera is at no immediate danger of damage. 


Sony NEX 5T
16-50mm lens

This camera allows for near dslr focus and crispness but in a more portable solution. The camera allows for less shake due to it being light perfect for moving shot or shots in between safe and dangerous of damage to the camera.


JVC GZ-E15 Camcorder 
 
great small camera with good definition and quality. Used for shots where the camera is in immediate danger of damage or the camera man must climb or travel a way that is not easy with a expensive camera. 



Software:














This software is used to add the special effects to the film such as the gun shot, blood and fire. This software is not as simple to use as Premiere Pro therefore it took a lot longer to get the hang of using and it took many attempts to get the special effects looking acceptable, however in the end, they turned out good; not pro standard but OK. After effects features motion tracking which was very important for the blood effect, without it, the blood effect would not have been possible. After Effects was used in conjunction with Video CoPilot's action essential; which provided the blood burs, muzzle flair and the fire effects, as well as the sound effects for the punches, gun shots, reloading, shell bounce and fire sounds.
