After carrying out product research I have come up with some good ideas for what types of things we should include in our music video, digipack and magazine advertisement. Before making our final decision we have decided to carry our some audience research ion the form of a questionnaire:

Filming Techniques - The Steadicam

After carrying out our product research we noticed particular filming techniques that created interesting effects in the videos that we looked at. One technique we picked out in a number of the music videos we looked at was the use of the 'Steadicam'. We decided that this particular technique would be very useful in our music video and would be very appropriate for our video. We looked at some videos of the 'Steadicam' on YouTube and this video showed us some other uses of the Steadicam and also how to make one.
