For today's post, I'll be doing a breakdown of the equipment I used for my senior film, starting with the camera. The camera I chose to shoot with was the Panasonic Lumix S5 II, utilizing the 24-105 mm and 85mm lenses. I chose this camera because it is exceptionally versatile for both film and photography, and it excels at capturing very sharp and vibrant imagery. 

The rest of the equipment was straightforward, as you would typically use for a film production. A camera tripod, of course, and an LED lighting kit to capture all the scenes shot within the Recital Hall. The lavalier microphones were used to capture sound from the actors, and the boom mic helped capture any additional sounds that we didn't catch, along with room tone and sound effects for certain scenes. Our sound mixer was a TASCAM, which helped keep the audio balanced during recording takes. The slate was used for helping sync audio and the bags to carry everything. My production crew consisted of 2-3 people or even just myself on certain days. Overall, the film took roughly two weeks to complete due to delays in replacing my initial cast and scheduling.
