While given the option to use the school provided HD cameras that had proved resourceful on the occasions we had used them, we have decided to shoot our film opening with my fellow director's personal camera, the Panasonic HDC-SD90.

We had used it previously on our Preliminary Task, shooting in standard definition, and this time we intend to utilize the camera's full capabilities of shooting in 1080p, as well as the wonderful zoom and stabilisation features. Thus far the camera has not failed us and we certainly hope it will not in the production of this film.
