Film Purchases and Shooting Style

Just a quick update on my film.

I have decided that it is going to be shot on my phone and use external sound for the dialogue and audio heard within the footage.

This was a creative decision and furthermore allows me to challenge myself as a film-maker.

To do this i will be using my phone a Sony Xperia Z5. It has a 23 megapixel, quick focus camera built in to it, and can shoot in full HD. This will allow for easy on the go shooting and also means i will carry less heavy gear when i am out and about on location.

To further this i have bought some equipment to help me shoot on my mobile.

This consist of different lenses for my phone's camera, to give me a wider choice of shots when i go to film the piece. These lenses are of a high quality and are made a company called Aukey.
The lenses themselves are: Wide Angle, Macro, Fisheye, 2x Telephoto and a Super Wide angle.

Now so that all the footage isn't hand held, i decided to buy a light weight tripod. The tripod itself is made by Velbon and is a CX-888 model. The tripod, is built sturdy and has rubberized feet for stability on uneven shooting surfaces.

But to actually attach my phone to this tripod i needed a grip mount. The option i went for was a JOBY mount, which uses a spring loaded holder, so that the phone doesn't end up falling out of it and therefore remains focused on the shot.

Now that i have this option set down in stone, i can decide where i want to shoot, who i want to shoot and what i want to see on the screen. However this is a path that i am still unsure of and need to develop.
