In order to begin shooting we will obviously need a device that will record our shots for us. Luckily, Jackie has the iPhone 11 Pro Max that has the best camera quality out of all the iPhones. There are so many options we can choose on her phone while shooting which will ensure that we have decent shots. Since we are not using any background noises actually at the park, we will not need any other technology to record these sounds separately. However, we will plan to use my MacBook Pro laptop in order to incorporate the foley sounds. Jackie and I actually recorded some test shots in my house to see how her phone camera would perform zooming and movement. We found that her iPhone really smoothed out the movement so that the shots were not shaky. It almost looked like it was shot on an actual camera because the picture and movement was so clear and smooth. It will be simple to use Jackie’s phone to shoot our film because it is easy to carry around and it will be easier to import onto my computer when we are ready to start editing.
This is the exact iPhone we will be using to shoot the opening scene of our film “The Vanished”. As you can see, there are three separate cameras on the phone that all work together for zoom, quality, and movement. These are all ideal for us in order to receive the video we desire. This phone is unique because it is the best out of all iPhones. This will ensure that our film will not be grainy or shaky with movement.
We are done filming guys! Here is the rough cut of our film. This video is just all of our shots in order put into one. There is also no audio because we have not began editing yet. Jackie and I are so happy that we were able to film on a nice day, as well as getting Amzie (Sawyer in film) to finally cooperate.
