The document discusses the hardware, equipment, software, and social media used to create a music video. A JVC professional camera was used to film footage that was stored on memory cards and transferred to a video drive for editing. Final Cut Pro was used to edit the footage, apply color correction, and add effects like slow motion. Social media accounts were utilized to provide production updates and share the final video.

2. Hardware & Equipment
 We used a JVC professional camera to film our
music video. I found the camera easy to use
and I thought it produced very good quality
video.
 We needed to adjust the focus to make sure
that it was always on the performers, and that
the shots did not come out blurry.

3. Memory Cards, Card Readers and Video Drive
 The footage we had on the cameras was stored on two
memory cards which could be connected to the Macs through a
Memory Card reader. This allowed us to transfer our footage to
the Video Drive, where we saved all of our group work, in order
for it to be easier to access.

4. Still and flip cameras
 We used a still camera to take pictures during filming and
pictures of the performers wearing their costumes.
 The flip camera was used for behind the scenes videos where
we explained what we would do during a filming session or
account for changes in our plans.

5. Social Media
 Our group had social media accounts where we
would have updates about our production process –
where and when we were filming, any changes we
would make on the spot.
 We used Twitter and Instagram to share these
updates.

6. Software
Final Cut Pro

We used Final Cut to edit our footage and create our final music
video.

We had a number of basetracks (filming the whole song in one go)
and some cutaways, which made it a bit easier to cut bits out and
leave the parts we needed.

I think our basetrack editing could have been organised a bit better, as
we ended up having too many bits and pieces, but we managed to
make it work anyway.

7. I really enjoyed using Final Cut to edit the video.
We used the Colour Correction tool to make the make-up and our
accessories stand out more, in contrast with our costumes and the
locations.
We also had some slow motion towards the end of our video, which I
think added a bit more depth to the editing and made the video more
interesting.
