The camera records the footage directly onto a mini DV tape. These tapes can be reused and are capable of storing large amounts of footage.
Some shots we will attempt will be difficult to do free hand, so we are supplied with a tripod to give our shots more stability should we need it.
Once all our footage has been filmed, we will need a computer to edit it all on. We are provided with an Apple iMac to edit and piece together our video.
The software we will use to import, export and edit all of our video footage is Apple Final Cut. This is a dynamic and useful video editing software that provides us with more than enough tools to create our project.
The song we choose will aslo need to be edited and somehow shaped to fit our video better. In order to do this we will need audio editing software. We are provided with GarageBand, which is a popular audio editor created by Apple.
In adition to a Video, we will also need to create a digipak and a poster to accompany the song. This will require an image editing software and we will need to use images of our artist. The images will be taken using an Apple iPhone 4.
The images taken will be imported into Adobe Photoshop, which is a photo editing program the group has experience with. Here we will edit our digipak, our CD disc art and our poster.
On order to learn how to use such software we had to see how it was done. We will do this mainly through YouTube tutorials. Without these, we would not know how to do many of the things we plan to do on programs such as Photoshop.
Along with Youtube, we will no doubt need to use other programmes such as firefox to access many other websites and sources of help. This is an internet browser and will be needed for all our research, as well as the posting of our course work on blogger.
Blogger will be used to post all of our coursework. It is a way for us to communicate with not only our teacher but also other pupils. It provides a way of obtaining useful feedback as well as providing a place to assemble and order all of our work. Blogger allows us to use a variety of ways to express our work, ranging from text and pictures to sound and video.
Finally, our group need to coordinate filming times as well as share ideas and work that we have done at home. Facebook provides a medium for the four of us to share links, images, messages and videos. This is useful for making our activities more time efficient and enhancing our ability to work as a team.
