How we used the technology in the filming of our video

Digital Camera
in the filming we used a digital camera to film all the scenes, we used it to take verious amounts of shots of the same scene from different places and to retake them if they had a mistale or an interuption, we found the digital camera very good to use and very usefull as it helped us to complete the video, we also used the camera for taking pictures of the locations, the costumes we were wearing and the peice of paper which we wrote lyrics from the song onto.

Tripod
We also used a tripod, this came very handy as it kept the camera still so we didnt have and jerky, handheld looking shots, the tripod was good as you could extend it to a required height which we wanted, and angle the camera up or down to create different shots, this came in handy alott.

Crane
we used the crane in our filming, we used this peice of technology because it allowed us to get shots we wouldnt have been able to with the tripod, we was able to get higher up shots and shots directly above by using the reel to angle the camera as we held it high above the actor, we found this good but a little tricky to use and you had to hold the reel rather tight because the camera was too hevay to keep still.

Please note the crane we used is only half the size

Green Screen
We used the green screen because we thought about creating the effect of yomi running on the world creating the effect of him being 'lost', but then as the filming was being done and put together we changed our idea, and decided not to use the green screen, as it wouldnt of looked good or tied in with the whole video, as it looked to odd, we found the green screen system, alright to use as it was only the point of pressing buttons to change the camera angles and to play and pause the recording.

Final Cut Pro
we completed the film using final cut pro, as antonio was familiar with the software and could easily move around it and use the effects really well, without final cut pro we wouldnt have been able to put the the scenes together to create the whole music video, we found this very easy to use after we have used it lastyear it came more familiar to us and espacially antonio.
