We planned shortly before filming, by brainstorming about what camera/cameras to use to get the best quality shots for our trailer. We thought hard about the type of quality we wanted and therefore used a variety of different cameras. For example we first used a Panasonic 3ccd camera as we felt that it was the best quality camera out of all of our choices It also gave us the chance to use the night mode that the camera included, this gave us the effect for the last couple of shots of our trailer. It made the shots look scary but not to scary that the trailer genre spilled over into a horror. We wanted to keep certain conventions of a thriller and this was quite hard to not spill over into the horror genre because the two genres are quite close.
We then used a flip camera because the master shots and location shots were perfect with a flip camera. Our last camera that we used was the Iphone 4s this gave us clear and good quality shots. However we did have difficultly with the zoom with the Iphone 4s but we overcame this issue by using different shots from the previous cameras that we had used. The Iphone 4s had an 8megapixel camera so overall it definitely had the best quality for such a small device.
We made sure that we made a list of the equipment that we were going to use, and made sure that we were able to access this equipment before we started to film our trailer.
We used the tripod in order to keep the shots still and focused, the tripod allows the shots to seem more steady and of a better quality to hand held camera.
