Research: Equipments

The amount of different equipment that is available to us at University is quite a lot of choices to choose from. We need the right equipment to produce high quality productions such as images, audio and videos. However, there are a lot of other basic equipments that will be used in the process.

Basic Equipments:
- Laptop: a personal computer will be used for updating the blog as we go along updating the website. It will also be used for research to gain knowledge in fashion, trends and designers as that will be the theme for our website. It will also be used to watch videos on Lynda.com to gain more knowledge about programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects and to gain knowledge in WordPress.
- Mac: this will be used in University as they are available to use in the Mac Labs. This will be used for Adobe programs to edit footage and edit photos in Photoshop. This is the main equipment to use for website designs and updates as it is a bigger screen and more opportunities to multitask.
- Digital Camera: this will be used to take quick pictures of primary research, behind the scenes of photoshoots and to show evidence that we are working as a team.

Advanced Equipments:
- Nikon DSLR Camera: a more high quality camera than a budget digital camera that will capture the models in action. This is definitely needed for high quality photos to present on our fashion website. Unfortunately there are restrictions in the loan rooms at the university. We can only take this specific camera out if we are third year media or film students. However, we have contacted the photographer and she has confirmed she has her photography equipments that are needed for the shoot.

- Cam Recorder: we need one or two of these to capture behind the scenes while models are modelling and other tasks that are happening around the set. The footage that will be produced will be going onto our website, under the 'behind the scenes' where the audience can watch behind the scenes and what everyone's tasks are.   

- Recording Booth: if there are any produced videos that will need any voice overs this will be the place that will be used for the necessary equipments. The voice overs could be used for make up tutorials, presentations on the website that is related to trends, interviews with models and behind the scenes. This could be used for information, to correct an audio error in a footage and for other uses.
