Before we started filming we needed to think a lot about what equipment we needed when filming. This including the type of camera what size tripod and if we needed anything like dolly to help with the different type of shots.
The first key decision being what type of camera to use, a regular camera or a Go pro. To test this we began filming the shots involving the investigation wall using both go pro and a standard camera. With the Go pro we both held it as well as used a head cam and found that holding it was better however we struggled with keeping is steady and felt that it didn't look as good compared to having it on your head which was far harder as we couldn't see what the camera was looking at so we decided to use a regular camera for both that shot and the rest of the title sequence.This was made to insure that throughout the title sequence it looked smooth and shots didn't seem out of place because a change of equipment.
The equipment we used was a camera and tripod. Instead of using equipment to tilt and move the camera about we did that by hand and it worked out successfully. The equipment we used all worked out successfully as we didn't want to over do it and over complicate as only Ghanshyam had experience in using any of it so we felt that a camera and tripod would be fine for us.
The least successful thing that came to the equipment was our initial test of the Go pro. We wasted a lot of time using it which we could have spend it other ways and because of this we spent a lot of time shooting the shots involving the investigation wall.
We have learnt to not to test out things for too long as it results in us losing time and to not use equipment for the sake of it, only use things that we actually need.
