Setting Up Filming

The Room

I filmed in my kitchen in which I had to create space against the a white wall. I set the tripod up in front of my model and asked my other friend to help film whilst I documented what we was doing.

Lighting

At first I didn't put the main light on in the kitchen which made it very dark. Once I realised that the model needed lights around her in order to make her stand out I moved near the windows and turned the lights on.

Sitting and Standing

When I started filming I asked my model to kneel , however this is because I forgot to set up the tripod and used the table instead. I then realised that this was not an effective way to film as it meant my model would have to sit on her knees throughout the filming. Also I wouldn't be able to add camera movement or angles to my music video.

Technology Used

Tripod

Originally I placed the tripod in the middle of the floor the I moved it near the window in order to gain more light. I raised the tripod, so the camera would be in line with the models face.

Camera

I have a Samsung camera and a Samsung smartphone phone. I didn't use the camera on my phone because the camera of my phone is a  CMOS, 5.0MP (megapixels) where as my camera is a CMOS 14MP. This meant I received a better quality of image from my camera as it has higher megapixels. Also my camera has an 18x zoom which meant I could focus on certain aspects of  my model more clearly with a sharper focus.
I  hen changed the setting so I had a 3x3 grid so I could line the models face up with the boxes.

Memory Stick & SD Card
I used a 16GB SD Card which I could insert into my camera. This allowed all my videos and images to be saved onto a transportable device.
Also I saved all my work to a 16GB memory stick so it could hold all my files such as images and videos which have a large memory capacity. I felt safer carrying my memory stick around with me rather than my SD card because it is smaller and I am more likely to lose my SD card. These images show the exact memory stick and SD card I used:
