The document discusses the equipment and software used to create a music video for a wheelchair basketball game. This included a Canon EOS 1200D camera for high quality shots, a GoPro for point-of-view and timelapse shots, Facebook for audience feedback, and Blogger to document the entire project. Final Cut Pro was used to edit the videos, and Photoshop and InDesign were used to create promotional materials. The finished video was shared on YouTube to reach a worldwide audience.
2. To film our video we need a high quality
camera that would allow us the freedom we
need to get the shot we wanted for our Music
Video. As the Cannon EOS 1200D was such
a high quality camera we used this for the
majority of are shot. The size and weight of
the camera allowed us to use the camera free
hand, which was vital as we wanted action
shot and to follow the players around as they
played the Cannon allowed u to do that. We
also used lens which meant two things, 1. It
allowed us to add a cinematic feel to our
music video 2. It allowed us to film for far
away which meant we didn’t get in the way
and disturb the flow of the Wheelchair
Basketball game.
3. The GoPro again like the Cannon
was vital to our filming of the music
video. As action shot were a big part
of our video. We also wanted to get
POV shots and GoPro with their
mounts where the perfect thing. It
allowed us to create the feeling that
the views where actually there. Time
lape a cool so we wanted to include a
time lape. It also created meaning in
the video like the world was leaving
the actor behind. We used head and
chest mounts for all the POV shots.
4. Social Media was key when it
came to audience research. All
we had to do was post
something on Facebook and
ask people to comment on it
and we would get lots of great
feedback and it helped us
include things that the
audience recommended and in
turn made our video better.
5. Blogger was vital to the whole
project as it was where I
documented everything
through out the whole project.
This makes it easy for me
because I know what I have
done and what I need to do
and is easy for the examiner
because all my work is in one
place and they don’t need to
be doing all around the web to
find it. It also allowed me to put
my work up for feedback.
6. YouTube is a video-sharing
website headquartered in San
Bruno, California, United States.
Youtube allowed us to showcase
all are videos Audience Research,
Rough Cuts, and our Final Cut.
This allowed us to get our video
potentional to the whole world. As
Youtube is a world wide website
that can be seen by the whole
world. Youtube was a great place
for us to get feedback.
7. We used Photoshop and
InDesign to create our digipak
and advert for our Music Video.
It allowed use to use filters and
layer to get the effect we
wanted to get across to our
Audience. Photoshop is a
professionally used pieces of
software which meant it had
lots of different effects and
thing you could do which really
gave us the freedom to do what
we wanted with our advert and
digipak.
8. We used Final Cut Pro x to do all our
editing of are videos. Again much like
Photoshop and InDesign, Final Cut Pro x
is a professionally used pieces of
software, which means that you can do
anything on it and it made our video look
very professional. As it is a very big and
complex piece of software it took me
some time to get to grips with it, but with
the help of Mr Milburn and the Youtube
video below it speed things up.

9. Prezi is much like PowerPoint but much
more creative and allows you to play
around with the way the information is
presentated. I use Prezi when doing my
Evaluation Question 3. Slideshare
allowed me to share PowerPoint on my
Blogger account. I used Slideshare for
Evaluation Question 1,2 and 4. Google
Forums was a great help when it came to
getting feedback from people about our
video. There is one downside through,
that is people don’t have to put their name
down so they can right what ever they
want therefore you may get some rates
that are not true which does not help us.
