Technical research

This is a list of equipment often used in music videos production

• Video Camera + different lenses 
• Tripod
• Camera light
• Three point lighting kit
• Shotgun microphones + accessories
• Boom pole + accessories
• Wireless microphones 
• Light reflectors
• Steady cam

Higher quality equipment is used to create a smooth and more visually enticing music video which will ideally drive sales and garner the artist more exposure. Tree point lighting kits and light reflector will uneven any unwanted exposure and get rid of shadows and visual imperfections. Tripods and steady cams are used to avoid human movement and to achieve a smooth picture which will add to the quality of the video.

This is the list of equipment i will be using:

• Green screen
• Video Camera
• Go Pro
• Lighting kit
• iPhone (home videos)
• Three point lighting

This behind the scenes video shows me how music videos are shot in a professional setting which gives me an idea of how music videos are constructed.

My video will mostly consist of home videos and will be filmed with the app "Camcorder" and GoPro on my own personal journey and daily events however the music video will be from a female point of view so i will include some clips of my model singing in the same places i traveled to. The video will follow the lyrics of a love affair that turns violent. The chorus will be filmed in a dark room with no natural lighting and the lights will be mobile so i can achieve the changing facial features effect. I will use three point lighting solely for the digipack and website images so they look more professional.

In school i will also have access to various computer programs that will allow me to edit my music video and digipak to look as professional as possible.
