Coursework - camera setup



These photos show the setup of the camera we used to film part of our film opening - the "come home" plea from Amber and Isla, addressed to Erin, which we then posted to YouTube. We had to film this in order to create a later scene, where an anonymous person (revealed to be Erin) is shown watching the video on their phone.

Our setup included my Nikon Coolpix (we decided to use a lower quality camera than my Sony Cybershot in order to make the video look suitably homemade compared to the rest of the footage) attached to a tripod - however, we found that part of the tripod kept falling slightly to one side and making the angle wonky, so we had to improvise by pushing a quality street sweet under the loose part in order to keep the camera stable, so that the shot was completely horizontal.
