PROPS and EQUIPMENT

Props are set elements that help in conveying a concept/meaning in a story and film. In my short film, there are a few props that do the same and the props are

  • ID CARD (hall ticket)

  • Backpack

  • Table calendar (with examination date on it)

  • Books

  • Smart phone

  • Posters on the wall

  • Paste / Toothbrush

The is Story fully based on the Hall ticket prop because Preethi losses it and The Beggar find it, he tries to give it to her but fails. Because of miscommunications, Preethi assumes that The Beggar is following her with a bad intention and towards the end when the beggar gives the hall ticket to Preethi, she realizes the truth. All other props are secondary in the film but still play role in telling the story.


E Q U I P M E N T

I am going to use a Canon DSLR to shoot my film along with a tripod. The camera that I am going use a Canon 7D and I will brow it from Mr. Senthil Kumar, who is the co-founder of Qube Digital and is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He is my Uncle and is willing to help me with the equipment.




CANON 7D is a professional camera used for both photo and video. The 7D has a great sensor with 1.6 times the focal lens allowing the user to capture a really good shallow depth of field. Even though it has been 10 years since its release filmmaker still use it to make short films, music videos, tutorials, etc. The camera has great Autofocus with 19 AF points in the frame and different focus modes such as One-Shot AF, AI Servo AF, AI Focus AF, Manual focusing (MF), and it will allow me to get good footage.


Canon has many different video shooting modes with different frames per second. They are,

  • 1920x1080 (Full HD): 30p/25p/24p

  • 1280x720 (HD) : 60p/50p

  • 640x480 (SD) : 60p/50p

Even though the 7D does not 4K shooting mode but the 1080p shooting is at its best. For my AS level film opening, I used the same gear and I have attached the link to the film opening below so that you can have a view of the quality of the video.
