During the production stage, there was a clear emphasis on the integration of hardware rather than software or online platforms. In order to collect all the footage we used the Black Magic 4K mini Ursa Film Camera, which we learnt to use previously during the camera workshops. Apart from the transitions shots, the camera was attached to the Vinten two-stage tripod, which helped us keep the equipment static and therefore avoid shaky movement in the shot. The Sennheiser Shotgun microphone, attached to the camera, increased the quality of the audio, while the portable LED lights we used during the flashback shot contributed to creating a spooky and tense atmosphere. 

I was previously familiar with all the hardware listed above (thanks to the workshops and independent research), however there were certain technologies I was introduced to during the shoot day itself. For instance, I didn't know what lenses are used for different types of shots. Throughout the day I learnt that Dzo Pictor 50-125 mm should be used for ECU and close up shots, while the Dzo Pictor 20-55mm should be used for long and mid shots. Furthermore, I clearly didn't pay enough attention to what I was told during the camera workshops, because on the shoot day I completely forgot about the exsistance of the Lexar Pro memory card (which basically stores all the footage we collect).
