Crew & Equipment List

We only used one handheld video camera for our video, a Panasonic SDR-S26. The reasoning for this was that the Point-Of-View shooting style that we used didn't require any more equipment, as the shot was taken from a hand-held position for realism, therefore meaning we didn't need any items such as gorilla pods, tripods or multiple cameras. In the first portion of the video, the necessary crew was limited to two members, due to multiple shots of the unseen character's arm and hand, lifting a bottle, opening letters and opening the front door of the house. Therefore, while one member of the group was holding the camera, a second walked next to him, as a "hand actor", actually performing the actions where a hand was visible on screen. For the second half of the video, the actor remained entirely unseen, and therefore only one crew member was necessary, simply to hold the camera and film the final scenes.
