Equipment
The camera we will be using to film our music video is a Canon 550D, this is because it films full HD movies (1080p HD) and all of the group members have previous experience with this camera therefore we can produce the best quality music video possible.
Along with the camera we will use different filters, the main filter that we will use is a UV filter, this will reduce the glare from the sun, particularly in the performance shots as the performance shots are filmed in the morning as the sun is rising which is prime time for glare.
Along with the camera we will use the tripod in order to keep the camera steady for the establishment shots. However we plan to mainly use a steady cam as we want to have a 'hand-held' feel in order to fit the generic conventions of a music video in the indie-rock genre.
The steadicam to the right will be very useful as it reduces the original shake from the camera and makes an overal smoother shot which is what will make our music video have a professional look to it.
We will use a Yongnuo YN-300 LED light as some of the locations we are planning to film are dimly light and therefore we will need to use artificial lighting in order to keep the ISO as low as possible due to my experience from G321 whereby my shots were extremely grainy due to the ISO being very high.
As we are on a low budget and cannot afford to buy camera tracks or a dolly we have decided to use my car (Hyundai i10) to act as a dolly, this will allow us to film extremely smooth tracking shots of our performer Zack walking on an extremely quiet road.
