3. ORGANISATION OF PROPS AND
EQUIPMENT
I will prepare my equipment the night before filming. I will do this because I
won’t be in a rush in the morning organising things. Items I will be bringing
from home are a guitar for my lead singer to play which I already have at
home so that doesn’t need to be arranged. I will also be bringing my own
camera so that will need charging over night ready for filming the next day.
4. HOW TO USE THE EQUIPMENT
To use filming using my dslr camera you need to turn it on. Once turned on image
one will appear on the screen. You need to press ‘shoot’. Once you have pressed
the ‘shoot’ you need to flick the toggle right which in image 2 which then changes
the camera from camera mode to movie mode. Once changed to movie mode
press the red button to start filming and again to stop filming.
5. BACK UP PLAN
As my music video is mostly going to be filmed outside
I have to consider a back up plan in case it rains. If it
does rain my back up plan is to film inside. I was
thinking about filming at the café I was planning to film
part of my music video anyway. If this back up plan
does happen I will have to acquire permission to film my
music video there.
