Using specialised equipment

Using the specialised equipment:

Laster light, disburses the light around the room – improve lighting in general throughout the mis-en-scene and especially on characters and props.

Tracking enhanced shots – improves connection with the film and enables us to perform amazing camera work with our ‘Silhouette’.

Sandbag – allows us to establish extremely low shots in order to connote dominance of the boxer (which is the effect we needed as a group).

Boom mike – improved sound of the heavy breathing during the fight allows the audience to feel and establish a connection with the characters but also builds a certain type of suspense ‘atmos’ around the room and around the audience. This really engages the demographic.

‘2K Blonde lights’ x2 – intense lighting, improved effect.

Dolly – receive a smooth and stabilised shot when tracking.

Different lenses – Set of Prime, Zoom and Wide lenses in order to gain the perfect shot suited to the perfect idea.

Using the equipment:

Camera – High definition ‘clear – cut’ quality frames as sharp as knife blades, really empowers over you and provides an active audience an element of edge.

Tripod – Still shot, looks clean and sharp.

Strap - for hand held shots in order to gain an improved POV shot from the boxing fight.
