The document compares using a DSLR camera versus an iPhone for video production. A DSLR has advantages like high quality video, long battery life, adjustable brightness and shutter speed settings. However, it is less compact than an iPhone. An iPhone is very compact and portable, with a built-in light and editing software, but has low storage capacity and image quality. The document discusses using a DSLR for main video capture and an iPhone for supplementary footage and audience feedback, due to the superior quality and storage of the DSLR.

Pros:
-High quality video captured
-Long battery life
-Switches off when not in use for a while
-Availability of ‘rule of thirds’ grid
-Easily controllable ISO setting therefore brightness
-Shutter speed can be altered
-ability to insert a memory card of any bite size so all footage
could be stored on one card without having to regularly export it.
Cons:
-Not as compact as an iPhone; does not fit into your pocket
-Switches off when not in use for a while
I P H O N E
Pros:
-Built in torch which can serve as back up lighting
-VERY compact, fits into pocket, perfect for travel
-Small size would give ease in guerrilla filming situations
-easily adjustable brightness with the touch of a finger
-built in photo editing software allowing video trimming as well as
colour balance etc.
Cons:
-Low megapixel camera; not optimum quality images
-Built in memory with no ability to add extra space; no memory
card slot = footage would need to be uploaded and deleted off the
iPhone to have space.
T E C H N O L O G I E S U E S D :
-During the production stage of the
video, the main piece of equipment we
had used was the DSLR camera, both to
capture the scenes of our music video
but also to take photographs for our
digipak.
-We had also used our iPhone cameras
for audience feedback etc. It was perfect
for this as the iPhone is very portable
and something that we would generally
always have with us. Furthermore, I had
used the sound recorder built in app for
further audience feedback.
C O N C L U S I O N
While the iPhone is very handy and
shares many of the same technical
settings, the crisper quality of the DSLR
was essential to us.
The fact that we could insert a memory
card was crucial to seeing as a full day
of filming would fill a considerable
amount of space and we had nowhere
to upload and backup these files when
out.
The ISO setting and adjustments on the
DSLR made the image much brighter,
whereas on the iPhone night filming is
almost impossible.
