Preliminary Tak Plan Filming and Audio -

Filming and Audio Planning - 

Filming -
A DSLR camera can film as well as take photographs. However, these have limitations such as the quality of the audio especially when the subject in the scene is far away. This can be resolved using a 'Boom Mic' for audio.

DSLR cameras can be used on a variety of rigs from body rigs to dolly's but these all have different advantages and disadvantages.

Audio -
When filming, audio is very important and the quality of the audio is best when using specific equipment such as a 'Boom Mic'.

Advantages:

• Provides better sound quality
• Filter out background noise

Disadvantages:

• Difficult to use when shooting a wide angle shot
• Heavy after use for a sustained period
• Directional and has to be aimed directly at the subject of the noise

Other -
The 'Dolly' can be used to avoid movement of the camera when filming thus creating a smoother image.
   

The 'Track and Dolly' is very similar to a normal 'Dolly' however this equipment involves the camera resting on two parallel bars and is often used for action cinematography.

Advantages: 

• Ideal when doing tracking or panning shots
• Ideal for action cinematography
• Can film steadily whilst filming in most situations
• Heavy and can sustain weight such as expensive camera equipment

Disadvantages:

• Time consuming to set up the equipment and become familiar with it
• It's expensive
• Difficult to relocate to another filming location
• Heavy to carry
