Video
In order to film our more sophisticated shots such as rack focuses and shots of more shallow composition, we used Katelyn's Canon Rebel T3i, a camera with numerous things that can be adjusted such as the lenses and lighting. However, for all of the other shots, we used Katelyn's iPhone X and Robert's iPhone 8, as those are the two best quality devices we had, and we wanted to film at least two angles of each shot. The reason we didn't stick to using the camera as much was because of a few things: firstly, the camera's large size made it more difficult to shoot with, especially when in tighter spaces. Also, the camera had very poor quality when shooting in darker settings, while the iPhones the better option quality wise. Lastly, the iPhones are just overall more convenient as Katelyn was easily able to transfer the clips to her Macbook through iCloud and send me them. It was only when there were shots the camera could do that the phone couldn't that we decided to use the Camera.

Audio
Since Pierce took the role of sound design, pretty much every single sound recorded was with his iPhone 6+, through a pre-installed app all iPhones have called 'Voice Memos', which allows you to record audio as much as you want, trim it, and share it. Using this, managed to put the files into an audio editor he got and manipulated the noises to make them sound more real. Once he completed this, he sent me the audio through our Snapchat group chat, where I downloaded the file and sent it to my computer for editing. There was only one sound Pierce was unable to record though and that was the sound of the wheelchair falling over, so I used my iPhone 7S to record the sound of my office chair falling over.
On Set
On set, we had to use Pierce's industrial lights that he brought to the set as lighting through the curtains. We did this by plugging the light in on the other side of the curtain and had someone hold it steady on the other side so it illuminated the set and the curtain was more lit up. This also allowed for shadows to be cast through the curtain. We also used Pierce's laptop for the final scene with the computer.
