Apple Mac:I used a Mac in order to complete the majority of my work on. Mainly importing footage and clips and using Final Cut Express to edit together my music video and to construct my digipack and advert on Photoshop.

Stage lighting kit:This was used in order to create a specific lighting effect to use in the music video and advert so a specific mood was created. It was easy to use due to the buttons on the back allowing us to change the functions and colouring of the lights.

Digital SLR Camera – Cannon 1100d:We used a Cannon 1100d camera for multiple tasks of shooting the footage for our music video and taking the images needed for the digipack and also the advert. We chose to use this instead of an ordinary camcorder due to the high quality it possessed.

Facebook:Facebook was a good choice of technology as it allowed me to upload and share my music video so that I could receive feedback from multiple people which were part of my target audience.

SD memory card reader:Seeing as the Macs didn’t have a memory card slot, one of these had to be used to import the footage and images.
