Analysis on the Equipment and Software used.

1. Equipment List
One of the most important equipment, we shall need
to complete our music video is a video camera. This is
essential as without it we are unable to film the music
video to a high quality standard. We shall be using the
same camera so that the footage quality is the same
and does not look different when we upload onto the
computer whilst editing.
To make sure when we are filming that the camera is not shaky and
wobbly, therefore using a camera stand. This made sure that the camera
was still and focused on the frame. However for a tracking shot we were
unable to use the camera shot and the quality was slightly shaky.
However this adds to the feel of the video and makes it more of a natural
video and more interesting.
We used a computer for most of our work after the filming
as this was where all the filming and images were stored
onto and this also held the programs we needed to create
our video and album. this also allowed us to use the
internet as we needed this for most of our research and to
communicate with each other by sending work through
email.
We used many different props in our video such as guitars and
a drum kit to make sure we make the band theme as realistic as
possible. We also used our drama studio which was equipped
with a spotlight which we used to make the video effective with
the performance theme as it only showed them and their
shadow which we believed fitted with the style of the indie
genre.

2. Software List
The main program me used to create our music
video is Adobe Premier CS6. This is where we
created the music video and allowed us to edit
the various different shots and filming we had
done on the camera. This program was ideal
because it had many different video effects and
transitions which made the video look more
effective especially with the cross/film dissolve
between each shot which made the transaction
between shots smoother and flow better.
Photoshop was used widely across our coursework for the album, poster and
also partly in the video. With its wide range of effects it allowed us to
create the best possible images for the album and make them look as
realistic as possible. We used effects such as brightness and colour
effects so we could make the colours stand out as much as
possible and we used most of the tools available to help us get
the shapes and sizes we wanted. We also used photoshop to
create the polaroids which we used for the concept of our video
this made it easier for us as we could edit the picture to how we
want it then put it into our music video easily.
Google Drive was incredibly useful when working as a pair as we
were able to share work with each other so we could edit the same
piece of documents. this allowed us to work on the various different
google services such as Google docs, Google Slides where we were
able to make presentations as well as word documents.
Google forms, was used to create questionnaires for our audience
research. This was a very beneficial tool because we were able to
create the one questionnaire and send this to various different
students in our class and school, getting multiple viewpoints. It also
meant we would not lose any of the answers because we would not
have them on sheets of papers. This also made it easier to display
the results in a graph making it easier to view the results.
