The document discusses the various pieces of hardware and software used to complete a music video project. It mentions using cameras from the media department to take photographs and film footage. Mac computers running Final Cut Pro X were used to edit the music video. Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 was used on these computers to create promotional materials. Memory cards stored the photos and video footage, while a portable hard drive was used to share the music video project between group members.

4. Camera
We used the cameras that were provided by
the media department for our principle
photography to capture high quality
photographs. In addition we used the
cameras to take photographs for the digipak
and advert, we had no trouble using the
camera and ended up with very successful
images. We also used the camera and a
tripod to film our music video, we only had
one problem which was filming in the wrong
setting, however this was salvageable when
we were in the editing process.

5. We used the Macs that were in the media
department to create our music videos,
using the software Final Cut Pro X. We also
used the Macs to take screen captures of
the music video for the evaluation. We used
Macs throughout the whole of AS as we did
not have computers so I already knew how
to work these.

6. We used the college media computers
throughout the research, planning,
construction and evaluation stages to do
our work. I also used a laptop provided by
college to do my work when outside of
college. Using these two pieces of
hardware I was able to create my blog. We
used the computes in media, using the
software Adobe Elements 11 to create our
digipak and advert

7. We used the memory cards provided by the
media department to capture the
photographs as well as videos. We used a few
memory cards as we used two cameras when
filming so each one had different footage. In
addition we used another one when we took
photographs of the stars, by doing this we
were more organised with what each memory
card contained. We used the memory card
readers in order to access the content on the
memory cards. We used this in conjunction
with the Macs and computers, which is where
we did the construction.

8. We used one portable hard drive within our
group to store our music video on. Every
time one of the group edited the music
video we would have to plug this into the
Mac in order to access and edit the music
video.
