The document discusses the equipment used to film a music video, including a Canon 700D camera, shoulder camera, tripod, and lighting. The camera allowed for easy focusing and control over settings. The shoulder camera helped capture steady footage of characters walking. The tripod kept footage level when stationary. Natural light was used outside for clarity, while studio lighting ensured consistent color and contrast indoors.

2. CAMERA
• The camera I used to film my music video was the Cannon
700D. I used this camera at AS so I already knew how to
use it which made me more efficient when it came to
shooting. I also used this camera to take the photos for
my digipak and magazine advert.
• The touchscreen feature was a useful feature of this
camera when it came to performance shots as it made
focusing easy. As most of our footage was taken outside,
the camera was good for controlling the aperture, shutter
speed, ISO and setting the white balance. This allowed us
to get really clear footage, making it seem professional
and more enjoyable to watch.
• I felt this was effective in making my video better as
without good quality footage, it doesn’t matter how good

3. CAMERA EQUIPMENT
• The shoulder camera proved a very useful piece of
equipment A lot of our shots involved the two characters
walking around and this allowed us to film the shots of
the people walking whilst still making sure the footage
was steady and clear. I feel like we used this effectively as
the end version of our video was of a good standard and
without this equipment we would have had shaky footage
and it wouldn’t have looked as good. I had never used
this equipment before so it was a good learning curve and
I would know in the future that it would be a effective bit
of equipment to use for any future projects.
• The tripod was also a useful piece of equipment. I had
used it before for other projects such as my AS thriller
and preliminary tasks, however it was very useful for this.
By using a tripod, it allowed us to keep the footage level

4. LIGHTING
• When we were filming outside, we opted to use
natural light as it gave clear, crisp lighting which
the camera worked well with to make in focus
footage. This worked effectively as it would have
been impossible to use artificial lighting outside so
it was rather convenient.
• When we filmed indoors, we used studio lighting to
make sure that the colours and contrast was
consistent throughout.
