Evaluation Activity 4: Equipment Overview

This is the camera we used to film our trailer, a GoPro Hero 3+. We were very happy with this cameras quality as it shot in 1080p and also had several other functions we used to our advantage, such as the wide angle lens that caught everything in the background of each shot. It also did an excellent job at picking up sound, resulting in a very professional looking trailer.
This is the jacket that our antagonist used as a costume in our trailer. We chose this jacket as it was entirely black and had a hood. Black was important to make our character seem threatening and to tie symbolic codes of darkness to our villain. The hood was important to raise enigma codes surrounding the characters identity.
This was one of the most important props of our trailer; our killers kitchen knife. We drew focus to it near the beginning of our trailer when our killer is cleaning the knife of his victims blood and toward the end of the trailer when he is walking around our protagonists house. It was important to make sure the audience were aware of this prop as without it the threat and fear factor of our villain significantly decreases.
This is the TV we use in our trailer. In the first scene set in our protagonists house it is the TV that shows our news report on the escaped killer to our lead actresses. To show our filmed news report on the TV we had to upload the footage on to youtube and then access youtube through the TV. We were lucky that the TV was a new one that had such technology on it. It was relatively simple to set up and proved to be very effective in our final trailer.
