Planning: Equipment planning

Trying to keep my music video to the highest possible standard i will be trying to ensure all of the equipment i use is too the highest standard i will be able to get. Below is some examples of the equipment being used and the equipment i intend to use.



The Camera
The camera in which i intend on using is the Nikon D3200. One of the main reasons for picking this camera is because of the accessibility of it, this camera i will be able to get from my school from the media department. The high quality camera allows me to get quite professional picture of 24 megapixels so this means it will allow me to put together a Digi-pack to a high standard. Also it enables me to record to a high standard also so this is vital for my music video if i wish to produce high quality footage. To the right are some pictures of me experimenting with the camera so i can get used to it before properly filming.I experimented with the depth of field of the camera. For example in the picture to the right at the top you can see that you person is in focus whilst the background is slightly blurred out. This shot shows the quality that the camera works at. I also have a small clip below in which was my first attempt at recording with the camera.
                                           
Shoulder Cam
Another type of equipment that has recently come into access for me is a shoulder cam. A shoulder cam is a piece of equipment in which a camera can connect to and the equipment rests on your shoulder with two handles. From using the shoulder cam and switching from hand held this enables a much more steady shot and makes the shot look a lot more professional. I will mainly concentrate on using the should cam in shots in which I am not mobile and the most movement I have is panning, The reason why is because even the though the shoulder cam is better at getting a smoother shot when moving it slightly still pics up footsteps making the shot        look less professional. To the right is a picture of a shoulder cam.


Steadicam
A steadicam is a piece of equipment in which i also have access too. This piece of equipment removes the operators movement and it allows for a smooth shot, even when moving quickly over an uneven surface. The times in my music video i will be using the steady can is for the majority of shots, this will include shots like tracking and even my still shots just to make sure that there is no unwanted movement. This piece of equipment I think will be very vital in the making of my music video if I wish to produce a high quality piece of work.
