R+P Post 28 My Kit List

Since the main focus of our music video is on the lighting effects and distortion of movements, we are intending to use a wide variety of kit in order to create such effects that will captivate the interest and attention of our audience.

Kit:                                                                             Intention:

Canon 5D MK II

•  To film all of our shots 
• For shots needing camera movement this'll either be handheld or with a dolly so that steady pans and arcs can be achieved and add to the movement of our dancing scenes
• We intend to occasionally switch between a slow-mo lens and the regular lens because filming in slow mo for some shots would add toward our intention of distorting movements

Lighting Desk

Music Desk

• The lighting desk we intend to use to create a red silhouette set up and create intimate low-key lighting since we were envisioning a dark theme behind our music video 
• But then at some points we hope to also to create an all white high-key lighting setup 

Turret Lights

Monitor

• The Mac is connected to the studio sound system so whatever music we play from the mac will be heard throughout the whole studio
• We want to use it to act as backing music in order to help our actors lipsync properly when filming and play songs that would get them in the mood for beauty shots
• We hope to have one of us from the group stationed there at all times while filming

• Turret lights are effective at making spotlights so we want to use them to create moving spotlights over each member of the band and film it in slow mo- this was inspired by the neon jungle music video "Trouble"

• We want to use a monitor, which can hook up to the camera we'll be filming on, because it would enable us to view everything we're filming on a larger screen; big enough for not just those filming/directing but also the actor at the time so they can see what they are doing as well

Floor lights

• Where the Studio Lights aren't able to reach, the floor lights can fill the space and create three point lighting more effectively. So for example, Angela's shot which we want to be VERY dark with only a few laser lights, we'd need lighting that can block out any shadows from the main studio spotlight we'll be using for that scene.
