TRIPOD

Here is the three legged tripod we used for the foundation portfolio and now advanced. It caused problems through producing the music video as the tripod handle was stiff therefore it was hard to do pan up or downs. It was also hard to move the camera left to right without it being shaky.

SONY CAMERA A1E

Me and my group used the same camera for our foundation portfolio (Sony Camera A1E); this is why I was fluent in how to use it. They were some problems that accorded such as battery dying, stiff tripod making my and group having to postpone our work despite bringing out two batteries at times. We also came to a conclusion that we shall use the Nikon Coolpix camera (below) because it could film aswell and because of the clear photos produced we thought we could use it, also it did not have a lot of sunlight as the Sony A1E camera was too bright. However we did not use the Nikon camera in the end because the camera was shaky because the tripod did not fit the tripod (above.)

NIKON COOLPIX CAMERAMe and my group use the new equpiment provided to produce great, focused, well pixelled photos. I liked the camera because it was easy to use as the settings were very easy (turn the nob to choose portrait, landscape, automatic or manual) and to take a photo was just  to click a button. Additionally the camera has a flash to enlighten photos.

This is what we used to play the song in the dance room to make lipsynching easy and to be insynched in time of the music so when editting it would be easy to get the lipsynching right. The phone blackberry usb cable was connected to the stereo.
