Filming equipment 2

I have checked in the media department to see if the filimg eqipment I needed was available for me to use and the tripod was not availble as it had been broken. This could result in having a film of low quality.
The equipment that i will be using to make my film:
  • Digital camera
  • Computer with editing facilities
  • Editing software

Filming Equipment

  • Digital Camera
