1. 5.1 Mega pixel CameraThis is a simple digital camera which can be used to take photos. I used this camera to take photos during filming to contribute towards the blog. If I didn’t have access to this camera I could of used a camera phone.
2. Microphone
This microphone detects every bit of sound. I learnt this the hard way and during the A2 stage of using this equipment I learnt the importance of complete stillness. Also how phones can cause interference ruining a day’s work. If I wanted an alternative I could of used a cheaper microphone or the default sound recorded from the camera.
3. Blogger.com
This is the website which this blog is hosted on. Due to blogger.com I learnt the frustration uploading big files can cause. An alternative to this could be another blogging website.
4. Microsoft Word
I’ve used Word for many years now, so I didn’t learn anything new. An alternative would of been openoffice.org software.
5. PD150
This equipment was entirely new to me. I learnt how to use a PD150 including how to; record, check sound levels, focus, connect to the microphone, set up on the tripod. An alternative to this could of been a cheaper camera like a handheld camera.
6. Internet
Primarly used for secondary research. An alternative to this could be books.
7. Adobe Photoshop CS3
Photoshop has been helpful with the creation of the ancillary task and the ID card featured in the film. Alternatively I could of used paint to create the similar but lower quality products.
8. Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
The usage of Premiere Pro upped this year as there was a lot more film to edit. I learnt the importance of not rewinding the tape after use. I also learnt about editing seamless sound levels. Alternatively I could of used Windows movie maker at the sacrifice of complete control and awesome effects.
9. Tripod
I didn’t learn anything new about the Tripod this year. However, if I didn’t want to use a tripod I could of used a crane if money wasn’t an issue or simply just my hands.
