Equipment for filming

I will be filming my title sequence on a DSLR camera, with HD quality. DSLR's aren't too difficult to use but are good quality and easily portable. With the sound quality, I won't be using dialogue and so recording sound won't be a problem as this will be added in post-production. The camera I'll be using is the Canon EOS 1200d with a 50mm lens:
I'll be using the 50mm lens instead of just a normal one as it allows for a shallow depth of field, meaning my subject will be more in focus and background blurred. However, I may use the standard lens as for some shots I may want the whole shot on focus. 

I will be using a tripod for some partsas even the tiniest shakes can look bad. However, I will also do some filming handheld as shakes and sudden camera movements can be effective and can be in sync with the non-diegetic sound.


For shots where the subject is running, I can use a steadicam to keep the camera smooth:
