Technology

We used a range of technology in our music video. initially we used a hand held digital camera for our filming. This helped us use a wider range of shots a shots, a shot reverse shot sequence, close ups, extreme close ups, long shots and mid shots were all used in our video. At first we found that this limited our quality of filming so we got inventive and found that the use of a fig rig enabled us to create a certain effect for our video, we did this so we could do a panning circular shot.

Throughout the majority of our filming we used a tripod, it allowed us to have steady shots when filming.

For certain parts of our music video we used the studio where professional equipment was available to use. We used industry cameras; lighting and vision mixers to add a more professional look to our film.

When it came to editing we used the software called ‘Final Cut Pro’ in this we were able to add transition fades, overlays, color compositions. We were also able to use slow motion and speed-ups to create a major effect on our video. It also made it more effective to be able to edit to the beat of our music this meant using very precise editing shot shots which we found difficult at first, however it helped bring the video together.
