Equipment

In order to create a good, professional looking music video, I have to use right, better, and accurate technology. My school has a wide range of equipment I can borrow, for how long I want and whenever I want, if I sign into equipment book and tell my teacher or Daniel (who is working in the office) about it few days before filming. This year, the school has bought a lot more technology, than last year, which is a good indicator for me using a new type of technology which I have never use before, and improve my filming skills from the last year. 

Here are the equipment I am planning to use within my music video, as well as new equipment's the school has bought. 

Tripod
This  type of equipment allows me to do filming smoothly, and therefore gives me a steady shots, for example: I am planning to have a scene of two people, playing on guitar, and it would be very difficult to hold camera all the time during this scene or others, and still have the steady/clear shots. This piece of equipment is also very easy to use, and will help me to produce a good quality music video. 

 Boom Mic
This is one of the new equipment's, the school has invested money into. However, I am not going to need it, as I am not going to do trailer but music video, with the background song by Jason Derulo ''It girl''. If I would be doing film trailer, then this is the right, accurate and very effective equipment to use , to gain the best sound quality as possible, or even pick up the outside sounds , such as: rain, wind, cars etc. 

 Go Pro
This is a new equipment the school has bought, and this equipment is also introduced to us as ''versatile camera'' because it allows you to use do filming underwater without breaking, therefore this type of equipment is mainly used in extreme sports. This means that if I would like to do some filming underwater, such as: filming someone's hand underwater to get a close up of the hands, then this is the right equipment which allows me to do it. Even though, it is a small equipment, it has a good quality footage, which is great, if I would like to use it a lot of, and then transfer it into Go Pro camera hardware. 

Nikon JVC camera 
This is the most important equipment from all others above, as it allows me to do filming in high quality footage, as well as is very small and light, easy to use, and handle. I must say that I have some experience with this equipment previously,  therefore I know how to use it as well as how to transfer the footage I have filmed into the computer  and then edit it on final cut software.  

There are also few software's and program's, I am going to use, in order to produce a real media product's ( music video, magazine advertisement, and digipack of CD) for my A2 coursework. 
This include

1. Final Cut
2. Youtube
3. Photoshop
4. Window Live Maker
