Camera
One of the main pieces of equipment we used for the post production of the music video was the Camera, obviously being a key ingredient to making a music video. After borrowing the equipment from the media department and all having prior experience from our AS year which made it easier to capture the shots and angles we needed to take, also knowing what all the buttons do was also helpful
We each took turns filming different parts of the music video until we realized that the only person who had a real steady hand and kept the actors in focus was Diana.
Fig Rig
The next important piece of equipment was the fig rig which made moving around and the accessibility aspect a lot easier especially when it came to filming in Hampstead Heath. When it came to tracking shots and over the shoulder shots it was really useful to get a steadier shot making it more clear for everyone on what we were taking. However when it came to the inside shots we found out it was a lot harder to move between rooms because of the size of the wheel and it also made some of our inside shots out of focus and was just basically a risk assessment in general.
Dedo Light
Once we realised our locations and how one of them would be inside our teachers recommended for us to use a Dedo light to help us improve the lighting and the quality of images especially when it came to filming the bath scene, although for that parrticular scene we decided to edit it more to increase the lighting almost making it look like a spot light because we ended up forgetting to use the light.
Social Media
Social media was also a huge help when it came down behind the scenes and sneak peaks of the filming and the editing process so the target audience would be able to keep track of things as well as teachers baing able to see our progress. This is why we made a Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.We ended up posting videos and pictures of our filming dates and all the different locations we went to that way our forms of social media would be updated.
Blogger
Blogger was probably the most useful piece of technology we had, we used it to post our work/research on a daily basis. It was literally like the process and journey leading up to the deadline allowing me to use other types of website to ambed as well as images and videos making it more fun and giving me more interesting ways to present my work.
Post production:
Weebly/Photoshop
Photoshop was really useful when it came to making my Digipak/album because it allowed me the freedom to mould it however i wanted it too i was able to create a folk like album cover similar to that of the original artist. With a suitable color scheme and font whch then allowed me to make the inside.
Weebly was also useful, after deciding on our synergy which was the bowler hat it allowed us to create the other type of media products such as our website, using influences to choose our colour scheme and font.
