Question 2

What technology did you use to complete the task and how did you use it?
Video camera:
This was the main piece of technology that we used to film our actual music video. It was a useful device as it allowed us to capture content and transfer it onto the computer to then edit. It also made us consider how we would use it, in regards to how well did we actually know the camera.
Once we had established how to use the camera it was easier to use different camera shots and movements such as zoom. Mostly we just used steady cam but on occasion we moved around with it to get different angles.

IPhone:
The IPhone aided us when we had difficulties with the video camera. Although the video camera would've been the more suitable option to film some our scenes, the IPhones' camera quality and zoom maintained the quality of each shot.
We used it for our last, tennis court, scene. With it being a hand held devise it made it easier to move around more freely but made the risk of a wobbly camera higher. We tried to make the filming process as similar to that of the video cameras in that we decided what we wanted the scene to look like.

IMac:
The IMac was used for the final, editing section of finishing our music video. We used this for editing as it has the editing software 'final cut pro'.
Cutting the videos and aligning each section was fairly simple, however matching the lip syncing within the video with the music was very difficult and we had to render a lot of sections which took up a lot of time.
