I have used a Nikon D610 camera to film most of my music videos and take the photos for both my digipak and social media. I decided to use a camera instead of a phone as it can capture high-quality footage and contains advanced features such as high resolution, high frame rates, and low-light capabilities, which can result in stunning visuals. Throughout the shoot, this camera offered me flexibility in terms of filming angles and perspectives. It can be mounted on a tripod, or used handheld , which allows me to create creative shots that can add visual interest. I already owned this camera and had previously used it in the past. This means I did not have to invest in it and already knew its functions and availability of tools. It is not a new and innovative model in the industry, however it produces good quality shots which could be used for professional-grade music videos. The Nikon D610 has a long battery life and can record for long periods of time without overheating, allowing me to film a wide variety of shots every day. This reduces the need for frequent battery changes. It also has advantages in the post-production face as I shot all of the videos in a RAW format. This means that all of the scenes are more flexible in relation to  colour grading and editing, helping enhance the overall look and feel of the music video.

Apart from using a camera to film the shots of my music video, I have also included footage filmed with a drone. By using more than one source to film the scenes, I was able to take a wider variety of angles and camera movements. Drones can fly at different heights and angles, providing more flexibility in the framing of shots and creating a sense of movement and fluidity. A drone can capture stunning aerial views and sweeping shots that are not possible with traditional filming techniques. This will add a dynamic and visually captivating element to my music video. I have decided to incorporate it in order to set my video apart from others that do not use this technique. It helps attract and capture audiences attention, and also demonstrate creativity and innovation. I have not included a large number of shots of the drone in my music video as I felt it would overload it, having the opposite effect that I am trying to convey.
