Lighting
We used two different types of lighting for the scene, 2 Lanta V2 Baton Lights and 4 Acme Red Green and Blue Par Cans (spotlights), the Batons giving a broad style of lighting, for all the shots in the corridor, and the par cans giving a direct light, for focused shots such as in the rooms for the shot of the door handle. These lights will be connected to a laptop via a 3 pin XLR cable, which allows the lights' colour to be controlled, and will be powered by a 13 Amp electric cable. To connect the XLR cable to the laptop, we used and Enttec DMX which connects the XLR cable to the laptop, which uses the software 'Light Factory' to change the colour and brightness of the lights. There are pictures of all the equipment below:

Sound
We will be using a sound recording system to get some foley sound effects, such as footsteps and door openings. The microphone we'll be using is a Behringer C3 Microphone, which is put on a stand and will connect to a 6 Channel LTD Sound Mixer, and then to a Channel 5.1 USB Audio Soundcard, and finally to the Laptop which will use the recording software. A mixture of the 3 Pin XLR Cable and a 6.35 mm to 3.5 mm Cable Adaptor are used to connect the microphone to the laptop. Below are the pictures of the equipment:
