1. Research and
Analysis
Equipments
used when creating main task and subsidiary tasks.

2. Nikon
D3000
When completing the subsidiary tasks required for our A2 coursework which
consisted of a promotional poster and DVD album cover I used the Nikon
D3000 mainly due to the fact that the camera produced images of rather high
quality therefore it was only logical to use this ideal piece of media technology
as I want my work to look as professional as possible with the available
equipment provided by the school.

3. H2
Handy
Recorder
I will also be using the H2 Handy Recorder for any
additional recordings I may need for my music video
whether that be any essential Diegetic or Non Diegetic
sounds, research and analysis presentations, construction
and evaluation process. From past experiences using this
piece of equipment I have come to learn that it is highly
sensitive therefore would need to be used in quiet
environments to achieve best outcome.

4. Apple
Macbook
The Apple Macbook is a vital piece of media equipment when compiling my music video, the laptop itself
contained a programme called Final Cut Express which is a compulsory part of the process as this would be
where all the extracts would be fixed together to create a finished music video. I have not previously had
any experience using this programme therefore I will have to research further in order to get a better insight
in how to achieve maximum potential from the programme. The programme itself is known to be used by
professional producers therefore it was only logical to use this programme when creating my video as I
aimed to make the final product professional and realistic.

5. Sony
Handycam DCR SR-
57E
The Sony Handycam is a vital piece of media equipment when recording most of the scenes for my music
video. I have previously had experience using this programme and from previous uses I have found that the
quality of image is of a very high standard and of a good quality hence I thought it would be most beneficial
to use the camcorder as it would add to the appeal and professionalism of the finished product when
completed. I will also be using this piece of equipment when filming other elements of my research and
planning, construction and most importantly my visual evaluation which I hope to record in person using the
Sony Handycam.

6. Tripod
The tripod is a vital piece of equipment when it comes to
actually filming the music video footage, the tripod will
enable me to film steady and consistent footage without any
unwanted jerking, the tripod will hold both the Nikon D3000
and Sony Handycam when filming. The tripod can be
adjusted to a variety of different angles and heights through
the adjusting bars on either side at the top of the tripod.
