I am not equip with proper equipment.

     While planning for the filming process, I realize what happens behind the scenes is more important. I need a good idea of all the equipment I need for the film before I film and realize things like "How am I supposed to make the lights blue?" I think researching and purchasing these options needs to happen as soon as possible so I need to have this done literally the moment I publish this.

        For lighting, these are my options to have some colored lighting. My main issue with the lighting I already own is that it is a singular lightbulb that can change color (I know, the least convenient thing I could say.) Having any of these options would be a cheap way to get a controllable form of lighting. The middle one is my top choice right now, since it has more natural lighting options and I could make the color exactly what I want using the plastic film.

    Another form of equipment I need is a form of stabilizer for my recording device. I asked a friend to help me with some technical aspects, and luckily enough he does own a recording camera and a tripod, but I know I want to get a stabilizer that is compatible with my iPhone in case I need to use it as a backup. Even if the tripod he brings is compatible, I know that some shots may need to be handheld and the stabilizer will be of great use to me so it doesn't bring unnecessary panic to the more calm scenes. 

    Overall, The use of the equipment mentioned will be crucial to my film, especially the lighting. Other necessary equipment for filmmaking is already owned by me or my tech helper, so luckily I don't need to make too many large purchases. The last thing equipment wise I would need would be for post production, and that would be a good editing platform. Luckily, timing in life is great and my current laptop is on the brink of no longer having a screen. The upside to this is that I am getting a new laptop before the filming date and will actually be able to utilize Adobe Premiere Pro. This is going to be amazing for me since I will be able to use a more complex editing tool and be more specific to get things the way I want them. So maybe everything happens for a reason.
