Technology used

Blogger:
To keep on track of the research we have done for shooting our music video we have been used Blogger which is an online blog.
By keeping everything in one blog we are able to see ideas that other members of our group have had whilst at home and in lessons as well as put our own ideas down. It has also been very useful as others in our class and in other classes are using the same online blog so we can look at theirs for inspiration for or blog, music video and ideas.
The cons of using this would mainly be that because other students can see it, they could easily copy and paste our blogs and take credit for our ideas, they could claim our music video ideas as their own.

Final Cut:
Once we have filmed our shots for our music video, we will use Final cut to edit everything together. We have already used it to find out how to do a split screen using test footage the Jessica and I filmed during a lesson. It has many options to help us create the effects we would like to put into our video such as slow motion, filters and overlays. This is also where we will be able to match the song with the video shots we have taken and make sure that it is all in-sync and the singer isn't singing a different part to what is actually playing.
The cons of Final Cut would be that if you do not know how to use it and would not be able to create your ideas on the actual screen - it is quite complicated! 


Camera & Tripod:
We are going to be filming all of our video shots with a camera we have been given and to make the shots steady we are going to be using a tripod which can be adjusted to any height so that we can take various different shots. The cons of using these two pieces of equipment is that by using the college's, we have limited use of it and it has to be booked in advance. However, this is also good for our planning as it helps us to create a schedule to that we know what we have and haven't done.
