Props & Equipment

Before we began filming, we needed to get a clear idea of what props we needed to use for each scene.

Drugs Scene
  • Flour wrapped in Food Wrap (Used as Drugs)
  • Money
Homosexual Affair Scene
  • Car
  • Phone
  • Keys
Proposal Scene
  • Ring
  • Drinking Glass
  • The Pub
  • Bar Stools
The props that we needed were all got hold of in time for filming, and were used successfully and appropriately.

Equipment
  • Camera - These were used to film the trailer and scenes in it. Our group used a variety of different camera shots such as long shots, close-ups, zoom, panning shots etc.
  • Tripod - This was used to keep the camera steady to avoid blurring a miss framing. The only scene we did not use the tripod was when we zoomed in to the phone to show the text message.
  • Storyboards - The storyboards were vital, and without planning them thoroughly, the scenes would not go to our original plan.
  • Shot List - This enabled us to have clear view of certain shots that we needed for each scene.
  • MAC Computers - We used the MAC computers as they contained Final Cut Pro. I also used the MAC computers to transfer frames and music to the normal computers. 
  • Final Cut Pro - This was our editing software we used to edit the Soap trailer. We learned new techniques as the process went along.
