Adobe Premiere Pro
Premiere Pro will be the main editing software my group uses as both myself and Jack have previous experience in it through our film opening and personal use. It is a great software used by many professionals and will allow us to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the software.
Drawing pen tablet monitor
The drawing pen tablet monitor that is owned by Jack will be used to make small clips of animation throughout our music video. This is much better than using a mouse as it allows us to be more accurate when drawing and it is easier to control. It also allows us to be more proffesional with our music video as the quality of our animation will be a lot higher because of the accuracy we have with a pen over a mouse.
Camera
The camera we will be using for our music video will be a DLSR. This is because of the high quality image it produces and also the options it gives us while recording. We have also used this camera before in our preliminary and so the group already feels quite comfortable using the camera and so we will not have to spend as much time learning the basics.
Will also use a tripod to accompany the camera as there are some shots within the performance that require a steady camera like close ups of the instruments and the vocalists face. We believe using a tripod instead of going hand held in these situations will give off a more professional look in our music video.
Computer
We will be using computers for gathering all our clips together and editing them. This is because other devices are not as powerful and sophisticated for the type of editing we need, for example an Iphone will not be able to produce a professionally edited music video.
Adobe Animate
Adobe Animate is the software we will be using to create our animation within our music video. Jack has previous experience with this software and will be able to use it to make small clips in the music video. It will also allow other members of the group gain a better understanding on animation and how it is produced and how long it takes to do so.
Lighting
Lighting is very important within a music video and our group will have to work carefully to get the right amount of lighting in our shots. One shot in particular that will be difficult for light will be our evening/night scene in the forest where the couple will be sitting in front of a campfire. Making sure we have enough light so we can see the couple but also not so much that it does not look natural will be tough so we will have to get some test shots before hand.
