Identifying Roles and Equipment

Identifying Roles

Hopefully, the work throughout our coursework will be shared equally. Heather, Lydia and I have attempted to share out the blogs we need to do between us, not by the number we do each but how much we do each, as some blogs require less than others.

Research and Planning therefore is as balanced between us as we could make it. Production will be very similar in this respect, we'll all have input on the kind of shots that are set up, the scenes that are produced and the way the music video is edited. We hope to play the roles of the Girls Team in our video, which means we'll all also have that extra part in our work. Video editing will be shared between us, and the photography and picture editing used for the digipak will also be as equal as possible, but Lydia does have the most experience here so she may guide Heather and I at this stage.

Equipment

The software we'll be using includes InDesign, Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Express. We'll use these for editing the digipak and music video. To film our video we'll be using handheld camcorders, one from college and my own, so that we can try to get as many angles as possible. With these, we'll use basic tripods to support them, and a digital SLR camera to take pictures of the band for other aspects of the coursework.

In our research, we've used websites such as jamendo.com for the music, blogger.com for this blog, google.co.uk to research other bands and brand imaging, and scribd.com as well as photobucket.com to help put documents and pictures onto the blog.
