Hardware And Software.

The hardware we will be using is the canon MD205 camera which we have previously used on our coursework last year and preliminary task prior to that. There are many things you can do on the camera for example change the lighting with white balance and zoom in and out to get different shot types. Another piece of equipment we will be using is the tripod. We will use this when we need a steady shot which is not achievable by hand, and gave a smoother shot. The final piece we will use is the boom mike this is a new piece of equipment we haven't used before and will be useful when needing a quiet
surrounding and only wanting to hear the dialogue; we will need some practice with this to get the hang of where it needs to be placed and to make sure it isn't seen in shots.

The software we are using is Final Cut Express, this is a new software as we used imovie HD previously. We have had a practice on this software and doing the task to get the hang of it. This software has more effects and will give us a better chance at adding different effects and edits in the footage. This software looks more complex, but you will be able to see everything you are doing all on screen. Also we will be using photoshop to create the posters and magazine articles to go with the film. We have previously used this software making our poster and magazine articles. This will help us edit different photos and bring them together to show what happens in our film. Finally we will be using the blogs to record all our work and our progress with our coursework as we go along with the task. We are able to use the blogs as we used them for our coursework in AS.
