Blog Post 14: My Kit List

To use the camera equipment, Simon and I had to sign a kit release document to ensure that we took good care of the camera equipment and that we received the proper training required to operate our equipment. This also made sure that each person takes equal responsibility over the equipment and stuck to any plans made before the weekend. The kit list was useful to check off that everything was packed together and that we didn't forget anything. The equipment contract ensures that I take my responsibility in caring for the camera and acting professional when using it. It also asks for my parent's signature so I have permission to film during the shoot weekend.

Below are the equipment release document, the equipment contract and the kit checklist:

 

The kit release process was very important as we were handling with very expensive equipment and we needed to provide contact details in case anything went wrong. It was also reassuring to know that the kit will always be complete, functional and in good condition. This meant that we could focus on other things during the shoot days instead of worrying about kit.
