The document provides details on the equipment needed for a music video production. It will include:
- A Canon 600D camera for high quality footage and color clarity as well as editing flexibility. Two batteries and a charger will be brought to extend filming time.
- A Velbon DV7000 tripod for steady shots of still scenes like bedrooms and buses. Some scenes will be handheld for realism.
- An SD card to upload footage from the camera onto a computer for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro software.

Equipment needed for my music video
The camera I will be usingtofilmmy
entire musicvideoisaCanon600D
due to the qualityof the footage.
Thiscamera producesfaultlessvideos
and photographsrichincolourand
clarity.AnotherreasonI’musing this
camera isthat it givesme more
freedomwhenitcomestoediting,
and givesme more optionswhen
comingto alterthe resolutionandframe rate comparedtothe 1000D. I will ensure thatastrap is
securelyattachedtothe camera so thatit staysaround myneck whendoingshotssuchas; bird’seye

the one I have usedfromthe start of GCSE art and photographyall the
waythrough to a-levelmedia.Because of this,Iamextremely
comfortable usingitandknow how it works;therefore if somethingwas
to go wrongduringfilmingIcan fix itas quicklyaspossible sonotime is
wastedandI can stickto myproductionschedule.Iwill ensure thatIhave
twobatteriesandone charger, therefore Ican extendthe camera’s
usage,especiallywhenIamfilmingatalocationfor the majorityof the
day withoutaccesstoany chargingunits.I learntthisfrommy shortfilmlastyear,where mybattery
died,limitingthe amountof footage Icouldgather.Asa resultof this,I am goingto be more
