Camera Equipment- Jack, Ella and Frankie

Canon 550D


We will be using our own camera to film throughout the short. We have chosen to do so, as this camera is very high quality as it is extremely high resolution giving a more realistic image. The camera is also lightweight and therefore travel friendly, this is important as we will need to carry it from different locations.
We will also be using a tripod to help steady our camera in some scenes. However most of the film will be shot handheld

Accompanying the camera we will be using the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Lens. we have chosen to use this lense as it delivers sharp images and produces produces a very effective shallow depth of field. Shallow depth of field will be useful as it will allow the spectator to focus on the specific subject that we have chosen to focus on. However the problem with this lens is that it is 50mm meaning that it is very cropped (zoomed in) which will limit the amount that we will be able to have differentiating shots. 


As well as this, we will also be using the Sigma 30mm f/1.4
This lens will allow us to shoot well in low light which will be essential for the night time shots within our film, for example the night shots when the daughter and mother visit the Christmas market. Additionally this lens can also produce very shallow depth of field, more than the Canon 50mm as it goes down to an F stop of 1.4 which will allow the spectator to focus on the subject even more. Seeing as the lens is also 30mm this means that it is not as cropped (zoomed in) as the 50mm and this will give us a lot more flexibility within differentiating the different types of shots.
