The document lists equipment needed to create a movie that includes sound, including a Canon 700D camera for filming in industry standard 24 frames per second, a Rode videomic pro and Tascam DR-05 for external audio recording and syncing in post-production to improve sound quality, and a clapboard to aid in syncing video and audio during editing. Additional software listed includes Adobe After Effects for special effects, Adobe Premier Pro for editing, Audition for sound editing, Photoshop for image editing, Story Plus for scriptwriting, and a Spider Steady for smooth handheld shots.
1. Unlike other people in my class who are doing music video my equipment list will be a bit different
as I have to worry about sound in my video as they don’t because they have song to go over the top.
Equipment
1 Canon 700d The first pieces of equipment is a Cannon 700d which will be what my
whole movie will be shot on. This camera is a good choses as it allows me
to film in 24 Frames per Second which is industry standard for a movie.
Also the camera offers easy focuses feature if they be manual or Auto
meaning I can change focuses quickly creating a professional look.

After doing a lot of research online it told me that I should not uses the on
board camera mic as it would not give a clear sound and also would pick
up to much background noise meaning the audience would get distracted
away from the visuals or dialogue. So I decided to uses an external
microphone and plug that through my camera and uses it that way, but I
still found my sound to be very hissy. Whilst visiting the University of
Falmouth I got the opportunity there to speak to some of their camera
technicians and I asked them how I could improve the sound. They said I
should uses an external microphone but not plug into the camera but uses
an external recording devises and sync up the audio in post-production
3 Clap board I will be using a clap board to help with the post production process. The
clap board will be used at the beginning of every take. This will provide a
noise and movement making it easier for me to sync the visual and audio
together in post.
4 After effects After watching many different tutorials on how to apply special effects to
a movie I found that After effects was the best software to use. It allows
me to add special effects like Muzzle Flashes and CGI blood. Also it
provides me with Mocha Tracking which allows me to perform planar
tracking which I will need to use in my film to chance the screen of a
computer to one I will create in Photoshop.
5 Premier pro After doing some research I found that premier pro would be the best
program to use to edit my movie together in post-production. The
software allows me to add many different effects which should make my
movie professorial at the end.
6 Audition In post-production I will be using audition to add sound effects and music
to my movie. Audition allows me to edit reverb and equalizer meaning I
can make the sound effects and music fit the environment.
7 Photoshop I will be using Photoshop to create a computer screen which will show the
helper of the movie tracking the position of villain for the hero. Photoshop
allows easy photo editing and also the ability to add many different levels
together.
8 Story plus I will be using adobe story to write my script for my actors. Adobe story
allows me to make a professional script
9 Spider steady As I want my audience to feel engaged in the action I will be using
handheld shots to film my movie. By using the spider steady it gives me
the ability to perform smooth handheld shots but also create
documentary style shots which can be a bit shaky.
