Camera test

The camera that we want to use is a HD camera, and it is the camera that me and my partner from AS used last year for some of the shots. However last year we had some problems with iMovie actually recognising what we filmed and it sometimes didn't work. We wanted to use it for our music video as the quality of it was good compared to what the schools cameras are like. We were unsure whether the files that the video clips were to be in once filmed would be supported by the iMovie software, So if the way its saved is supported, and if it will play or not, once imported.

In order to see if it worked this time i filmed something over the weekend, so that in our lesson on monday we can put it into iMovie to see if it worked. I filmed our cat for a few seconds and saved it on to an SD card. Once we did this we put it into iMovie to see if it would work, and if the quality was any good.

This is the quality that the video came out with when we put it onto iMovie, and we are happy with how this went. We are now confident that the camera will work with iMovie, and so we have decided that we are going to use it for our filming. We know the software on the mac allows the way the videos are saved via the camera to be played, and so because of this we now have our equipment sorted.

We are pleased with the video quality, and think that we can use that to our advantage in order to get a good grade. We think we will have an advantage over anyone who uses the school cameras. The reason for this is because the quality of their cameras in nowhere near as good as the camera we will be using, and so because of that we think, that ours will look better, and more professional.
