Hardware

The main video camera that we will be sing for our production will be the Canon MV920.
Specifications can be found here.
It has a 25x optical zoom and an 800x digital zoom which would be useful providing you have a tripod to hold the camera steady, which we do.
The camera has a built in microphone which is good in that t doesn't necessarily require an external mic but for some scenes (such as outdoor scenes) the mic tends to be affected by interference, as I found during my AS coursework.
To counter this, the media department has purchased a RĂ˜DE microphone and accompanying boom to form a boom mic. Although this will probably require more crew to use it will surely benefit the production in the long run.
