Equipment:

FlipCam

For the majority of my footage I used a FlipCam. The quality of the footage can not be compared to other cameras I have used. It's high definition and is very easy to upload onto a mac. The downside for me was the size of it, it's very small (about the size of a mobile phone) and looks wimpish attached to a metre long tripod. The other criticism I have of it is it does not zoom in very far.

Sony NP-F750 Digital Camera

This camera has been used by my dad for years. Before I got my hands on the FlipCam this is what I used to film the first set of footage for my music video. Although it may appear fairly primitive compared to what's on the current market, it does the job and is of a decent quality.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Contrary to the majority of my class mates who all used Final Cut Pro. I decided to use Premiere Pro as I was more familiar with it. In Summer 2010 I made a short video and used this programme to edit it. There is a debate between which programme is the best, and looking at various forums on the internet they both seem to be pretty well respected. I just chose to use Premiere Pro as I already knew how to use it, and because it's on my mac at home I would be able to work on it after school hours as opposed to if I used Final Cut, which would have limited me to just working on it at school.

Props/Cast

I used various different props including an acoustic guitar and appropriate clothing for Adam who I filmed.
