COSTUME
 

FILMING EQUIPMENT

Small Tripod - convenient for worms eye view shots

iPhone 11 - the highest quality out of all iPhone cameras. Has a very wide angle lens (improving the issue of recording in small rooms). Similar quality to proper camera


LED camera light - this means we can film in rooms that have slightly less light.


Large Tripod - gives the shots stability and gives us the opportunity to adjust heights if need be

iPhone tripod adaptor - meaning we can attach the iPhone to the tripod

Gimbal - if we chose to use any tracking shots, it gives a very stabilized and professional look to the footage
