Group Choice

The group I will be working in for the main task consists of:

Me: Strengths are general ICT skills, Good understanding of editing software, Organisation skills, Experience in music/sound.

Kieran Hill: Strengths are experience in filming and photography, Good understanding of media concepts, Experience of playing in a live band.

Matthew Jones: Strengths are operating filming equipment, Understands technical aspects of different recording equipment, Experience of playing in a live band.

One of the main reasons we choose to work together in this group as we felt that we had all the skills within the group which would be required to create a professional music video. We also all like the same styles of music so will be able to choose a track that all of us are going to agree on; additionally we all are musicians and would all be able to feature in the music video if required. Due to our musicianship we would be able to play the instruments in a realistic fashion in order to sync to our chosen track. Our talents cover all main instruments of: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Piano, & Drums.

Across our group we have a variety of equipment which we also feel will benefit us for this music video.

Kieran Hill - Cannon DLSR 550D, Variety of Lenses
Matthew Jones - Cannon 7D, Cannon 500D, Variety of Lenses, Macbook Pro featuring 'Final Cut Pro X'
Dan Harris - Range of lighting equipment, Variety of stands, Variety of sound Equipment

With our range of equipment and skills we feel that we have the potential to create a professional music video. Our main advantages of working together is the ability to use 'Final Cut Pro X' over iMovie which is very limited on editing features in comparison.
