What kind of camera do you need for filming?

As a DV short drama, the requirements are not too high, as long as it can achieve the broadcast effect. The so-called broadcast effect is that it can reach more than 5 lines. After being compressed by software clips, it will be somewhat unclear in general, because the uploading and broadcasting platform provided on the Internet now needs to process the video for the second time. The recommended machines for digital standard definition and small high definition are as follows:

Section 1: Sony 19P

Section 2: Panasonic 18B

Section 3: Canon XL2

Section 4: HDR-FX1E

Section 5: HDR-FX7E

Section 6: Sony 25P

The most important thing is that the low illumination is good, because it requires clear light and pictures when the low illumination is not supplemented. The above three types of machines are all equipped with 3CCD, which can be said to be completely competent for shooting in low illumination. Secondly, the machines can reach at least 5 lines (broadcast by satellite TV). Thirdly, they are small in size, light in weight and versatile, which is convenient for carrying and shooting. Fourthly, the prices are moderate, and the general high-definition machines are above 7,, but these models are expensive. You can check the specific parameters and performance on the website. As for the specific functions, many of them are actually not used in shooting.

Sound collection: If you record at the same time, you can use a strong directional microphone, such as an iron triangle, which costs 3-4 thousand yuan, and a boom (4 meters of carbon stalk costs 2-4 thousand yuan) monitors are divided into color and black and white. Panasonic or Sony series can be used, with different sizes and prices. They are more than 12-3, yuan (of course, there are several hundred yuan), which can be purchased according to actual needs.

In addition, you also need railcars and tracks (how much the railcars are loaded, how many meters the tracks are divided into, and how many straights and bends). The domestic and imported prices are different. The domestic price is less than 1, yuan for 16 meters, and the imported price is between 2, and 3, yuan for 12 meters, and the rocker arm is divided into 6 meters for electric control. There is a difference between domestic and imported prices. For example, the domestic price is about 2, for electric control of 7.5 meters, and the imported price is about 7,. The rocker arm is equipped with a shelf, casters and monitors.

If the requirements are high, you also need to be equipped with a mixer, preferably 6-8 roads, a recording lever, a strong directional microphone, a microphone windproof sweater, a tripod with a hydraulic tripod (such as Manfutu), an elevator and a reflector. With sound engineer, lighting engineer, costume designer, makeup artist, executive director, director, audience sitting, and other related functional personnel.

Before the early shooting, a script is needed, which can be rewritten as story board as required to make it easy to master the scene and actors, and the lighting does not need to be very demanding. Simply, double or single news lights can be used to fill the light, and reflectors can also be used. For higher requirements, red headlights are needed.

As for post-production, the key lies in the editor. It is not an easy task for the director and the editor to jointly accomplish this task. It is a systematic project to connect the shots and match the music in the editing. For an 1-hour and 3-minute movie, the material can only be cut out for more than 1 hours, which requires the non-linear editing system in the later stage to be fully competent. The non-linear editing system can be priced at 2- according to the configuration. You can negotiate the production cost, because the price charged by each production unit in each place is different. Some are calculated by the second, some by the minute and some by the set. The reference price is 2-3 yuan. You can talk to several production companies about the price or reduce the cost by co-shooting (you can name it at the end of the film). These are flexible but not dead rules. I wish you success and hope to see your short play.
