LO2: Setting Up of Appropriate Equipment

Setting up the Canon DSLR camera 

When filming at the evening do at The Polish Club, the actual open day at Armandos Scooters, adjacent at Portland works and from The Florentine Pub, I made sure that I set up the appropriate equipment before taking the footage. This involved arriving at the venues a few hours prior to the events, and doing recces to work out the best camera angles and shots. With the help of my two camera assistants I set up the equipments at the locations. The camera set ups included one camera on a tripod and two handheld cameras, whereas the open day was a little bit more difficult to set up as there were various locations to film the event from. At the beginning of the day, the DSLR camera was set up on a tripod and captured an establishing shot of the event, one of the Sony cameras was handheld and the other was filming through a window at Portland Works. Before the ride out, I made sure that one of my assistants had one DSLR camera and one Sony camera set up capturing the scooters arriving at The Florentine Pub, and I made sure that my other assistant was set up with the other Sony camera and a tripod, capturing the scooters along the route. I filmed during the ride out using a GoPro camera with a stick attachment. 

The equipment I used included:
2 x Sony Camcorder Cameras
1 x DSLR Camera
2 x Tripods
1 x GoPro Camera & Accessories
