After doing a trial run with a handheld video recording device, I recognised that the quality of the footage was not as good as I had hope, as it was a too jumpy and the quality was slightly grainy. Although I do want the footage to be realistic and a slight shake helps to represent that, however, I felt the handheld recording device was too shaky and jumpy and therefore ruined the impact of the footage. I began to look into alternative ways of capturing the footage and came across the Go Pro camera. I am familiar with a Go Pro camera as I have used it whilst skiing and from memory I felt it could be a valuable piece of equipment.
Go Pro cameras come in a high definition format which would solve my issue of the grainy footage from the handheld recording, whilst they are also very light, agile, wearable and are designed to block out unnecessary noise such as wind etc. The quality and sharpness from a Go Pro camera is astonishing giving the size of it leads you to believe it wouldn't have the capabilities to capture such high quality image. With this in mind I felt it would be an ideal piece of equipment to use for my recording and felt that if I just strapped it to my mid rift, or my head I could capture the desired footage.
