The Sony A1E is the camera my group will be using to film my teaser trailer with because it is the highest quality camera, we have experimented with the different techniques it has to offer and in what way we can use the camera to create the most effective shots for our trailer. We have experimented with the white balance and exposure level to change the brightness of the film, we also experimented with night mode which would give a realistic approach to filming. Some of the features I will be using that the camera offers are listed below with a small description into how they work:
Built-in down-conversion to DV
The flexibility to film your footage in HDV and use the camera's down-converter to output Standard Definition pictures if required.
Still image capture
Enables you to capture still images onto both the tape and the Memory Stick. It can record maximum 2.8M (1920x1440) pixels in Memory Mode, and maximum 1.2M (1440x810) in Tape Mode.
Cineframe 25 & Cinematone Gamma
As well as the HVR-Z1E camcorder, the HVR-A1E provides Cineframe mode (25 frames) and 2-mode Cinematone Gamma, in order to meet requirements to make images cinematic and film-like look.
2ch XLR audio inputs
The HVR-A1E offers the recording of audio by providing built-in stereo microphone, as well as two XLR audio inputs for connecting an external microphone or feeding an external-line audio source.
