Research&Planning: Equipment and Software List

Equipment and Software List

• Photoshop 
• Garage Band 
• SLR Camera
• Sony HD Camera
• IMovie
• Final Cut 
• IPhoto
• Canon mini DV

 I would use the Canon mini DV camera for test shots for my trailer, this would help me see if I need different lighting or angles, before I used the Sony HD camera to film my trailer.

 I would use Final Cut to add the editing to my trailer. Final Cut is an more professional program than IMovie so would give me better results in my editing, if I practiced and got familiar with the program.

 I could use IMovie instead of Final Cut as I am more familiar with this program, therefore may be able to get better results.

I would use the Sony HD camera do to most of the filming for my trailer, as it will give me better quality of film than the Canon Mini DV would.






I would use Photoshop when creating my poster for the trailer and when creating the front cover to a film magazine, which my trailer would be the main feature of.

The SLR camera would be used for taking the pictures for my poster and film magazine cover, the SLR camera has many settings and gives a better result in pictures than a normal camera would, therefore making the pictures look more professional.

 Garage Band will be used when creating the sound effects and music for the trailer.

 Iphoto will be used for viewing the pictures taken for the poster and magazine cover.
