Equipment List

Tripod – To make sure the camera is angled properly and has a sharp shot of where the camera will be directed at. As well as making sure the camera is on a steady form and is not moved around a lot, as getting the correct shot and angle is crucial. 

Digital audio recorder – This will be used to pick up the voice of the individual who will be performing the song of “it's ok.” I am using this instead of a microphone as I may want my artist playing the piano or emphasise the song by doing hand movements. 

CD player – This will be used for the music to play in the background to go along with the narrator who will be singing, as it is important they are in tune and on time of the rhythm of the song. The song can also be played from a computer. 

Dark room – To portray the sadness of the song and make sure the atmosphere feels the same for the audience. 

Spotlight (Red) – Making sure the room isn't just pitch black but has the effect of different colour, to make it eye catching and present mysteriousness to it. 

Camcorder – This is essential as this is the main equipment we will be using to record the music video, recording every part in different forms. 

Mac computer – To use in order to edit, cut, add effect/transition to the music video as well as storing my clips of the music video. 

Camera light – Making sure to show the narrator clearly in the video and that there isn't a shadow which ruins the look of the music video.

Extra batteries – Having batteries is important just in case your camera runs out of battery or any other battery operated equipment, you will always have spare. 

Memory card – To store all footage taken on to somewhere safe.

External hard drive – Just in case your memory card is full and you need to transfer some footage in order for more space to be provided from the memory card. 

Camera bag – So you are able to move around to different places without having to handle all equipment separately, by holding it. Therefore, having a camera bag is useful to put your contents in.
