Camera

After using both an iPhone camera and the provided camera, which is now a Canon Legria HFR706, I have decided to use my iPhone 6 to film the final production.

On the left is a sweded film trailer, filmed on an iPhone 6.
On the right is an unfinished AS Media production, filmed on a Canon Legria HFR706.

iPhone 6 has:

•  1080p HD video recording (30 fps or 60 fps)
• True Tone flash
• Slo-mo video (120 fps or 240 fps)
• Time-lapse video
• Cinematic video stabilisation
• Continuous autofocus video
• Take still photos while recording video
• Improved face detection
• 3x zoom
• Video geotagging

The Canon Legria HFR706 has:

• 32x Optical Zoom, 57x Advanced Zoom and 1140x Digital Zoom give exceptional shooting range
• 1.4.85” CMOS sensor and rapid DIGIC DC 4 processor give professional quality
• Zoom Framing Assist mode keeps you in control of your shots
• Image Stabilisers keep your footage blur-free
• The fluid Audio Scene Select mode keeps the sound crisp, whatever your shooting

Tripod

Three of us in the media class have purchased a tripod from Amazon.
Although there will be a lack of freedom as it will be shared, we can communicate to use our time effectively. The tripod extends and is adjustable to fit an iPhone 6 and iPhone 7.

The tripod was needed as we are all using iPhones rather than provided cameras.





The tripod is 75 centimeters tall, which is not that tall; to overcome the issue of height, I can stand the tripod on objects.
