Equipment used to film our music video (rough cut and final cut)

When thinking of the type of music video we wanted to make we didn't need any instruments. The equipment we did need was a great camera and a tripod that was going to be able to be carried around Camden and other locations easily.

The camera we have used is amazing. It's extremely clean and shows well in dark. This was exactly why we wanted to use it. A lot of our music video is in the dark and we wanted the viewers to be able to see what was going on rather then it being blurred or too dark. Therefore we needed a good video camera that picked up the changing in lighting. The camera that we used is called Canon 1234B002 Model EOS 30D (SRL) and here is a picture of it.....




After looking at the camera we needed a tripod. We used the Canon Deluxe 200 Tripod, for scenes that entitled still footage. It was essential that the camera work was stable as if it wasn't it could look unprofessional and ruin our final cut. We want viewers to see t his as a music video that could be seen on their TV's. The tripod was little enough when folded up that it could be carried around without it being too heavy. It also pulled out so that we could change the height of the camera if needed to lift it up or put it lower to the ground.

Here is a picture of the tripod.
