Essential things we needed:
- 2x Video Camera's (Sony Camera's) - One red and One blue. - These need to be fully charged in preparation for a whole days filming. However, as a safety net I will take the charger leads with us to our location therefore, if we do have a battery problem we will be able to sort it out.
- 2x Black Tripods - The tripods need to be checked to make sure they are working fully, and before leaving for our location, we need to be make sure the attachment bit is in the pack otherwise, we will have trouble clipping the camera to the tripod.
- 1x microphone - This is needed to give of the impression of our singer being professional.
- 1 Microphone stand - Microphone stand is essential so the artist can place the microphone within the stand to focus on emphasising the lyrics rather than walking around with it.
- 1x Drum Kit - This is being borrowed by one actor in our production, we will have to store this in one car, possibly even two dependant on how much equipment needs to be taken to our location.
- 1x Pair of drum sticks- essential, without these the drumming will not be at all realistic.
- 1 Guitar - This will also be borrowed from one of our actors in our music video.
- 6x Hi Viz Jackets- These will be provided by Plasto-Sac-East are essential to apply with health and safety procedures within the factory.
- 3x 50m extensions lead - These are essential due to possibly having our instruments away from plug sockets.
- 1x Ipod (which will contain our chosen song)
- 1x Speakers - These will be needed for the actors to hear the song for them to be able to mime/act to it.
- 1x Double headed flood lights (for special effects) These will be used for lighting effects.
- 1x SLR still shots
- 1x SLR Video Shots
- 2x Pallet Trucks
- 1x Large A3 sheet containing the lyrics (for Kingston's benefit to mime)
- 2x STD pallets with top boards
The following images below are shots taken from our filming day of the equipment we took with us, by using the already make equipment list we were to tick of the things we needed on the day and what we took with us.
The image to the right shows the drum kit, we used for our music video. One error we did make was not to bring the actual drum chair. Therefore, as a substitution we used just a plain ordinary chair in hope, it would not be shown and our intended target audience would not notice.
The image to the left shows the guitarist, with the guitar used in our music promo video. This shot also shows the strobe lights in the background, which we used to make the mise-en-scene lighter and to make the band stand out from the dark background they were placed in front off. Overall, these lights were very successful in highlighting the artists. However, one thing to consider was to aim not to get the lights and wires in shot to make the music promo video look more realistic and professional.
The shot of the right is a shot of me, wearing the Hi Viz jacket, while holding the camera and placing it on the tripod before filming started. The Hi Viz jackets were essential to wear, due to the location being set in a warehouse which contained machinery therefore; it was a health and safety procedure that we had to wear these.
This next shot on the right, shows a big percentage of all the equipment used, it shows are actors (being the band in our promo video), all the instruments used, including the editing effects such as the strobe lights. It also shows of the location where we shot it (up against a brick wall). However, one criticism was in the shot, in the corner there is some equipment for the warehouse, one thing needed to be considered when getting footage for our actual promo music video.
