Nikon d3300
What is good about it?
The camera can take high-quality images and video and use a variety of advanced camera techniques to create professional looking shots. The camera allows us to video and take pictures in a high HD quality which will make our film more nicer to watch. The camera also allows us to swap lenses and change lens length for wide angle and tight angle shots which make our filming easier and also allows us to use different skills. On the top of the camera, there is a spinner that allows us to choose a variety of setting which allows us to try different camera effects and visuals. The spinner is placed on top of the camera which allows us to access it easily because it's placed near the handle. The camera has reasonable weight to it which makes our shot smoother when movement is involved because of the weight of the camera.
Microphone
This is a professional microphone. The microphone is made for recording music instruments and voice which makes it perfect for picking up speeches. The microphone comes with a holder which allows us to mount it on a stand so that we don't have to hold it. The foam ball is used to block wind and other interference from being recorded through it. The microphone allows us to change the wire to a different attachment like a jack plugs or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) wire. Behind the microphone, there is a button that allows us to switch to manual sound adjustment or auto adjustment. During the time we are filming, we had it on auto adjustment because manual adjustment required soundboard or some sought of a controller to control the sound. The microphone is shaped like a cylinder which makes it easier for us to hold it.
What is bad about this microphone?
The microphone only can pick up voices or any sound close to it because the microphone is more of a broadcast microphone. The microphone doesn't pick up background sounds. The microphone doesn't come with wire attachment like USB and jack plug. The microphone only works when it's connected to a computer only and it doesn't work if it is connected to the camera that is not capable of, or able to have plug-ins like the microphone.
Tripod
We used a high-quality tripod that holds and stabilise the camera so that we don't have to hold it and allow us to take more accurate shots for our film. This helps the camera image to be less shaky which makes our film smoother. The camera includes adjustment knobs that allow us to set it up in any position and allows us to lock it in place so that it will not topple over. The tripod allows the camera to move it up and down, pan it left and right to making our filming easier. The tripod is made out of a strong lightweight metal which allows us to use it in any condition whether if it's in the water, or a stormy day, or a snowy day. It also makes it harder to break and it will survive medium impacts and falls and the tripod comes with a small bag that allows us to carry it easier. The tripod also has a handle attached to it make it's easier for us to carry it without the bag. At the bottom of the tripod, there is rubber grip stand that provides better grip for the hands and it prevents the metal from scratching the surface. On the top of the tripod, there is a stabiliser measurement that allows us to see if the camera stand is straight or not.
Personalised and Custom-made computer
The speed of the computer is fast and smooth and was less prone to freezing than other computers. On the top and the back of the computer, there are attachment and ports for USBs, jack plug and other components. This allows us to connect any equipment to the computer like for example, a camera, microphone and more. This means that we were able to have multiple components plugged into the computer as we were filming and editing. The ports also allowed us to plug in our microphone see we can store our sounds, monitor them so we know which is which and edit them afterwards once we have finished,
The computer allows us to download software to edit videos and pictures, we can download the programmes we need onto the computer to carry out our editing process and any other areas we want or need. On computers, it is possible to transport the data on it by physically moving it (on a hard drive) or virtually (backed-up or uploaded onto the internet). The computer requires monitors so that we can see everything that is happening which means that we can see a clear layout of our project on adobe and to hear the sounds clearly through a plugged in speaker system. What is bad about this computer is that it is big and heavy which means that it is difficult to be carried or moved along the computer being restricted by the constant requirement of being plugged in for it to function.
