Camera research

As we want our opening two minutes to have the 'Home movie' look to it, i have decided that maybe using the highest quality video camera isn't the best option, as in my eyes the final clips will look too crisp and perfect, for example we want our film to look a bit like the way 'The Blair Witch Project' was filmed, After doing some research i believe the camera used was an CP-16 film camera, unfortunately we don't have this camera available, or one like it but were considering using an old handheld film camera instead of a new, high resolution digital camera. We later came to the conclusion that only some of our opening should be filmed on a old school, handheld camera, and the rest should be filmed using more recent, high definition equipment.

CP-16 Film Camera: They were primarily intended for television news filming and were quite popular with local and national news agencies before the advent of portable videotape Electronic News Gathering, (ENG) formats, as well as documentary and drama production.
This was the camera they filmed most of 'The Blair Witch Project' on, so i thought i would be a good idea to include this as a comparison to the cameras of today.

GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition: GoPro is a brand of high-definition personal cameras, often usedin extreme action video photography. They are known for being lightweight, rugged, wearable or mountable in unusual places such as outside planes, cars, or boats. This high definition camera could be used to film shots where the camera had to be in awkward, less acessable angles, such as mounted for a first person view.

Canon EOS 600D: With class-leading 18-megapixel resolution, user-friendly design, and the entire EOS family of lenses and accessories at your disposal, the EOS 600D lets nothing stand in the way of your photography. This is another high definition camera which we could use to film any normal shots, using normal angles as opposed to unusual ones.
