Equipment Analysis

The equipment we are planning to use is:

·         A Canon EOS 1100D DSLR Camera
·         A Tripod

·         Track and Dolly

·         X4 Lights.

The first three pieces of equipment are going to be used for the entire video while the lights will only be used for the TV Studio for performance because of compatibility issues.

The Canon we will use in our video has HD video capture with 12-megapixel image quality. This will increase the footage quality in our video and make it look more professional. This camera also allows us to use zoom and allows us to get deep or shallow focus shots because of its automatic and manual focus settings.

The tripod will allow us to achieve steadier shots, especially ones that require us to capture a certain shot for a long period of time. This is important as we need our footage to look as clear and sturdy as possible.

By using the Track and Dolly we will be able to obtain a wider range of shots including crane or tracking shots and shot angles such as higher high angles. The track will also allow us to get steadier/more stable footage.

The four lights will be used during our recording sessions inside of the TV studio to improve our lighting and the visibility of the performers.
