EQUIPMENT

SONY DSC-HX

I am going to use a Sony DSC-HX camera and camcorder to film my music video. This high definition camera will allow me to capture high quality pictures and frames.

I have had plenty of experience when using this camera, so i am able to change the colour and settings manually.

Here are some key performances from this device.

New 28 - 560 mm equiv 'G' lens
Ultra fast 10 fps continuous shooting speed
HD movie recording at up to 1440x1080 at 30 fps
Intelligent Auto mode
Unique sweeping panorama, twilight, and anti-shake modes
A revised menu system (Home menu is gone)
HDMI port

TRI-POD

A sturdy, stable tripod that’s properly set up will get you sharper pictures every time. This light weight tripod is cleverly concealed in the handle that controls its 3 way head is a fully adjustable table top tripod. This tripod will allow my shots and frames to be straight and prevent an off centred frame.

LIGHTING

I will need to use appropriate lighting when I film the performance pieces for my music video.

The lighting that I will be using has adjustable settings which control the power of the lighting, enabling me to have a range of options, from soft lighting to harsh lighting.

I will experiment with the lighting equipment before I begin filming to achieve a successful outcome. Some of my music video I will be using natural lighting, instead of artificial lighting. However, when I am filming in the studio I will need to use equipment, to achieve a professional look.

The more professional my music video looks, my target audience will be more attracted and take my music video seriously.
