Equipment

    I have finally finished filming! My partner and I used various equipment during the last day of filming. One of the equipment that we used during the last day of filming was a pick axe. At first, I thought the weapon the serial killer was going to carry was a golf club but then we found this pick axe in Reeves's garage when we were getting the black garbage bags which were another prop that we used during this filming. The reason we decided to use this pickaxe instead of the golf club is that it looked more menacing and frightening.

    Another piece of equipment that we used during the last day of filming was the phone mount. This made filming a lot easier as it helped with having a consistent height then it was used. This helped us greatly because it helped us stabilize our camera, especially during the shots that were still. While it still helped us during the shots where we incorporated movement, the camera still moved a bit but the mount definitely alleviated the shakiness.

    The single most important equipment that we used during the last day of filming was the camera. The camera that we used was my iPhone 12 with the camera set at 4k 60. One might think why choose this phone and not the iPhone models from the previous years? Well, I did some research and I found out that the iPhone 12 picks up more detail and light than the previous model, the iPhone 11. This was crucial throughout the whole filming not just on the last day. For example, we were a bit worried that we would not have been able to see everything clearly since the filming took place at night, but we tested my iPhone 12 and it turned out great. Another example is during the car scene, since the car doesn't receive a lot of light because it is covered we were wary to try this car scene and wouldn't be able to see the serial killer clearly. Again this was not a problem because my camera lens can pick up light effectively.
