Equipment and Software

Image result for dslr
For the shooting and production side of the project, I used a DSLR camera to do the filming on. This camera for me was best fitted as it was easily accessible and I was able to control the lighting and intensity of the picture on the camera rather than doing so much work on the lights. Furthermore the DSLR was very easy to download the footage off of and was very efficient is everything I needed. The DSLR was a great camera to use as it had a good quality in the final project and was not too pixilated. As I was not an expert in how to use a camera this was a very easy camera to use and quick to learn things about it.

I used LED lights in this project when filming my video. I tried many different types of lighting when filming the lip aspect of my video. these were used and helpful to my video beca

The most frequently used piece of software I have used throughout this project is Blogger. Blogger has been my main source where I put all the work I have been doing over the past few months on to show my journey. I was new to the whole blog situation as never created one before, but I got use to it very quickly as it was very easy to use. It also gave me a lot of benefit using this blogging software rather than another, as people would often not be able to access their blogs when I could and there's would crash occasionally and mine was perfectly fine, showing I chose the correct piece of software.

Powerpoint and Excel were used but very minor. Excel was used to create and update my timeplan. Powerpoint was used for the mock ups of my website and DigiPak. These were very easy for me to use as I have been using them forever so knew exactly what to do.

 Youtube has been an essential platform in this project. It has allowed me to carry out essential research by analysing previous music videos. As it also has many video on it, it has given me so much inspiration for what i can do in my music video and what I should include. I use this platform everyday so found it fairly easy to use. However, I do not upload video on to youtube, so that was something new I learnt in the process.

Wix was a programme that I created my website on. There were templates already in line for me to alter and create my website the way I want it. This piece of software was very easy to use. I had not used it previously to this project so was new to it, but it was very easy and clear to understand what to do with it.

Quick Time was a piece of software I used enabling me to recording me editing my movie on screen. This allowed me saving time and giving me more time to edit, as I could just video what I was doing without me noticing making it very easy for me to show what I did when I was editing. I did not know how to use this piece of software but once I knew how to start and stop, it was very simple as it did not interrupt any of my editing.

Photoshop was not used in a huge amount, but it was a key programme used for my DigiPak. This was used to make colours sharper and less saturated. I have used photoshop before, but I am not an expert on it. Therefore I did need help in what I was doing but picked it up fairly quickly so I could carry on in what I was doing.

Image result for imovie logo
iMovie was one of the most key pieces of programming i used in this whole project. This programme enabled me to edit my whole video. Without it there would be no video. I was not entirely comfortable in using this programme, but i picked it up fairly quickly and got used to it. By the time I was 1/4 of my way into the video, I was very comfortable in editing and using this piece of software.
