Group Work - Equipment and Props

This is a list of equipment and props needed for our production. We included visuals to demonstrate needed equipment and other mise-en-scene elements.  We have already gathered most of the objects meaning we don't have to increase our budget. This will be beneficial for us as we're going to use equipment which we already have.


  • CAMERA EQUIPMENT  / LAPTOP - The DLR camera Nikon D7100 will be used as our main tool during recording of our music video. To re-ensure successful use of this equipment we are planning to take additional elements such as tripod, camera cables and a charger. With the tripod we will be able to get consistent and fluent shoots without any interruptions such as hand shake. Besides, from that the tripod could be successfully used for still close-up shots which we included within our video. Additional camera cables and extra batteries will re-ensure along with the laptop that our shots are appropriate, giving us more time to film if the battery would die.
  • GOPRO SET - The GoPro is another action camera we are planning to implement within our video. The main element of this equipment is the use of laptop along side in order to view recorded shots as the camera does not consist an image viewer.  Besides, from that we are planning to take the GoPro set which includes selfie stick which we are planning to use for high angle shots, head belt for perspective shoots and so on. The use of laptop along side will be really useful to check the recordings in order to reduce our filming time.
  • PORTABLE FLASHLIGHT - We are planning to take a portable flash light which we might use in areas such as Ealing Parking where the light source is significantly limited in certain floor levels. This will allow us to greater the light source if needed. 
  • SKATEBOARD - We are planning to take the skate board in our first day of filming for the Ealing Parking location. Beforehand, we will re-ensure the skateboard is working correctly to avoid any risks. Besides, from that we will make sure the actress will use the skateboard on flat and accurate surfaces. 
  • SPRAY CAN - We will use the spray can on a cardboard in order to avoid any public damage. By this way we will avoid any potential risks. We are planning to use small amount of spray meaning the actress will be safe without a mask. 
  • VODKA / TOBACCO - In order to reinforce our negative connotations within the video we are planning to apply a vodka bottle and tobacco pack in order to highlight the careless approach to habits but also props associated with youth partying in particular. The vodka bottle will be filled in with water to gain realism. 
  • NECKLACE / COSTUME - The necklace and the costume will be brought by our actress. The necklace is very simple and small without any symbol or recognition while the costume will be following our research choices. We are planning to obtain casual look which would consist of: trainers, casual t-shirt, loose jacket, scarf or hat (due to weather conditions) and jeans.
