Equipment

Camera

The camera we are using to film our music video is a Panasonic HDC-SD80. The SD80 is an extremely compact camera (you could fit it in your pocket), a trait which will be extremely useful for when we film in London as lugging a lot of heavy equipment on the Underground wouldn't be practical. The camera has 1920x1080 recording capabilities and a 46x zoom along with optical image stabilizer (OIS). On most cameras using the zoom feature results in shaky footage, but OIS means any blurry footage is stabilised.
We decided to use this camera because it is more efficent and also has the latest techonology that will help us produce quality filming. This camera belongs to a member of this team, we didn't use the school camera because other groups may need them whilst we do and also if we brake them, we will have to pay for them. Using a team members camera is more efficent and also the camera is better quality than the one that we have avaliable at school.
