Hardware

We used a handheld SONY camcorder and DV tapes. On this we had a testing procedure where we checked; the focus setting because we used it in our film opening in a zoom of the baby in the last scene.
However we didn't altar the the white balance setting as we felt that the level it was already on reflected our genre well.

From pre-productions we learnt how to transfer footage from the camera to the macs via a leed this ensured no footage was lost during our final production.

In the shot of Shannon (Jen Roberts) tidying up we wanted to show the struggle of never having time for herself but always having to tidy up for other as well as herself, from her perspective, so we innovatory worked around this by designing a head-cam, this was done by sellotaping the camcorder to a bicycle helmet and worn by me, the shot then looks as if its from Shannon's eyes despite being worn by me and my arms in the shot still worked, as our arms looked very similar and didn't have any distinctive marks or nail varnish on.
