I have chosen to record my short film at my cousins house at it has a very simple layout, a lot of windows for natural light and wide spaces.

LOCATION
- it is an open plan house, so plenty of space.
- will have to put personal photos and items away such as school photos and receipts which may hold personal information.
- it is a quiet neighbourhood on a quiet road - not a main road, so not very busy and minimal cars passing.

LIGHTING
- my film is being shot in the morning so there will be a lot of natural light, so I don’t believe any additional light source is necessary.

SOUND
- there are younger siblings in the house so there may be noise from them. We can arrange a baby sitter for the days of shoot
- quiet road, no cars pass unless to get to their house on the road.
- no squeaky floors

SUPPORT
- there are toilets
- mobile reception
- can get an Uber to the address (couldn’t in the past as it’s a new area)
- area newly built so all maps are correct
- big rooms so there is room for equipment, wardrobe and hair

OTHER
- nobody at the house during week days due to school so it will have to be filmed on the weekend/school holidays if possible
- parking on the road

A girl who is struggling with self esteem issues has a life threatening wake up call when she encounters a life threatening incident.

Grace wakes up one morning and rolls out of bed. She goes into the bathroom and looks in the mirror. She touches her stomach and her arms - the parts about herself she doesn't like the most. She lets out a sigh as she walks into the kitchen to find her mother.
"Why do you keep looking in that damn mirror? Nothing's going to change if you just keep looking! Why don't you just love the way I made you?" Grace's mum yells at her, but it comes at Grace very staggered and broken, and Grace starts to get upset. Her Mum continues to yell as Grace pulls on sweats and a shirt and leaves the house. She pulls up her phone immediately, as if to phone one of her friends or other family, but she gets interrupted when she crosses a road and a car beeps at her, just missing her. Grace goes into shock and apologises to the car as it drives off. This has given her the shock she needs in order to reevaluate how she looks at herself.

She runs back into her house and breaks down completely. Her mum panics and asks her what's wrong.
"I've spent all of this time being down on myself when I realise any day could be my last."

1. IPHONE X

https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/iphone-x-camera

As I do not own a camera, I will be filming my film with my Iphone X. I have shot videos with my Iphone X before and have been impressed by the quality of the video. This review praises the video quality of the Iphone X.

Strengths -
Apple have updated the camera(s) for the Iphone X in many ways. The telephoto lens has been updated, with the aperture widened from f/2.8 to f/2.4. This allows photos and videos to be taken in low light at good quality, which is a feature that may help me while filming. Apple has also updated the sensor and made it faster, and also the ISP - image signal processor - so it can identify more colours and textures. This allows the Iphone X to capture depth in video and photo.

Weaknesses -
In this review, the only weakness it mentions is the portrait mode of the Iphone X. This has nothing to do with the video recording, so it doesn't really matter. It has nothing to do with the image quality, but the options of which you can choose from to edit your portraits.

2. TRIPOD
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Adjustable-Camera-Tripod-Mount-Stand-Holder-for-iPhone-X-Xs-MAX-Samsung-S9-AU/192661862418?hash=item2cdb8ab812:m:mQwK1MI0Z87p0iZ6sjyu9vA&frcectupt=true

Purchasing a tripod would be the next step in my equipment list. This is essential in creating my film to create steady and correct shots.

Strengths -
This tripod comes with indeed, a tripod, a carry bag, a phone holder, a tripod mount adapter and a bluetooth remote. All of this bonus equipment will make shooting my film easier. There are 8 reviews and 7 of them are very positive, saying its good quality.

Weaknesses -
There is one review saying that this tripod is poor quality. I put this against the other 7 positive reviews and say I could take the chance with this tripod, and it would be good quality.

# data[].attributes.body
I completed the test in 11 minutes with a 15.50/16 grade. Overall I did well on this quiz, and I believe I have not only the videos provided but my year 12 photography class to thank for it.

My strengths in this quiz would be the macro lenses and the white balance as i've learnt about them before. My weaknesses would be the colour temperatures as it was my first time learning about them today.

I will need to improve on my knowledge on colour temperatures as it was hard to wrap my head around those questions in the quiz - interesting but tedious!
