Pre Production - Equipment List

Equipment List

 

The equipment that we will need when filming our music video are:

• Cannon 700D

This camera will be used because of its ability to film in HD improving the quality of the final video, we have also used this camera before and therefore will not waste time figuring out how to operate it, this means that we will be able to complete our filming tasks quicker.

• Tripod

We will be using a tripod so that when we shot our scenes the camera will be as steady as possible, this means that the shots we produce will be clearer and easier to watch. By doing this we hope to give our work a more professional appearance.

• External mic

From previous experiences we have discovered that the internal mic that comes with the camera does not pick up a high quality sound, which resulted in us rerecording the speech and adding it as Foley. Therefore we have decided that for the beginning of our video where we will have a short piece of dialogue we will use an external mic in order to gain a decent sound quality while filming so we can avoid having to spend a lot of time lip syncing the separately recorded dialogue.

• Editing Software

The editing software that we will be using is Adobe After Effects this is a video editing system that we have used before. This will make the editing of our shots an easier task as we are familiar with the user functions.

• Reflector / lastor light

This is a reflective piece of material that we will be using when filming close ups in order to ensure there is enough light on the subject of the shot, this will result in the shots we film being easier to see and understand.
