Hardware/ Equipment

The Macs - I will be using the macs in order to edit the footage that I have taken. I have never used the macs before So I will need to do some tutorials and some research into how the operate and how to use the programmes on the desktop.

The Film camera (and equipment) - I will be using a professional sony video camera in order to catch the footage. Along with the camera I will need the seperate peices of equipment such as the boom pole and microphone, The tripod and a tape for the film. I have little knowledge of these peices of equipment however I think that after conducting some test shots the equipment will get easier to set up and operate.

Camera - I am going to use a samsung camera to take the photos that I need for the webpage and Poster. I have quite alot of knowledge and experience with the still cameras and understand terms such as the rule of thirds and framing. I think that I will be able to use this knowledge to my advantage in order to create a professional looking poster.

Software

Final cut pro - Final Cut PRO is a peice of software that is installed on the macs that you use to edit footage. I haver never used Final Cut Pro so I will need to attempt some tutorials and watch some videos in order to learn how to use this particular peice of software.

Garage band - Garage band is another Programme that is installed on the Macs. This programme is a sound programme that you can create seperate sounds or soundtracks on; that you can then add to the footage. I have never used this programme either so tutorials and research will be needed.

Photoshop - I am fairly familiar and confident with the programme photoshop, Photoshop is a programme where you can manipulate and layer images in order to create background, posters and other forms of graphics. I don't need to research this programme as I am resonable at using it anyway. However if I come across a certain feature that I am unsure about I will conduct the research as this arises.
