Camera: Nikon D3500

The camera that I will be using to shoot the teaser trailer and to capture the pictures that will be used for the trailer’s magazine front cover and poster is the Nikon D3500. This is the closest piece of equipment to the proper Hollywood standard cameras that I could get a hold of. I’ve had the camera for about a year now and so am very familiar with its features and how to use it correctly. It also means I won’t have to borrow a camera and rely on others. I can take as many shots as I want and have the ability to re-shoot things immediately as there is no limit on the SD card, which is 64GB and won’t fill up quickly.

Tripod For some of the more static shots, like a pan, I will be using a tripod to help stabilise them. However, I don’t need the tripod all the time as I will be using moving and handheld shots to connote how unstable Nicole is at certain points in the trailer. When creating the moving shot I would use a piece of equipment called a ‘Gimble’ but this is very expensive and I have no experience with it so the shots would still come out terrible. I already have a tripod at home so it comes at no cost and can be put in awkward positions with no fear if it breaks. I am also familiar with the tripod so no time needs to be wasted learning how to use it.

Lens• Apart from the standard lens that comes with the Nikon

D3500 I have also acquired a prime lense that will allow me to get establishing shots from a distance and to take close up zoomed in pictures of the characters face.
