Equipment

We have used various different pieces of equipment  ranging from the Green Screen, to a piece if carpet to block out the sun.

However, one piece of equipment we found very useful was a dolly tripod.



We used it three times during the film. Once at the beginning when Louise takes Tom his toast through, and the camera follows her from one room to the other, and then later in the film in the lodge, when Tom and Mark walk through the living room. Even though they walk through individually  the shot is exactly the same. 
Helped by the camera's 'stabilizer' mode, we were able to smoothly roll the tripod along the floor and get smooth, dynamic, cinematographic shots.
If we were to film these clips again, to make the clips even smoother we could use the new feature to Adobe Premier and Adobe After Effects CS6 called 'Warp Stabilizer'. This feature will smoothen any footage to look more cinemagraphic, however the smoother the original footage is the more effective it will be; I feel this would have just help add an extra bit of professionalism to our film if we had access to the software. It would also have allowed us to keep a cinemagraphic throughout the handheld portions of the film.
