For shooting my short film, I will be using my own Canon EOS 550D. I will be shooting at 720p HD quality and at 50fps (frames per second). I could shoot in Full HD (1080p) but that would restrict me to using 25fps and because I want to use slow motion in my short film, the 50fps allows a much smoother look inppost-production.
I will also be editing on my home computer using Adobe Premiere Pro as I have done this many times before with footage from my camera. The only downside is before I can work with my footage I have to transcode it first and then render it before editing in APP which can be time consuming, however it will be worth it because working on my home computer is easier than having to share the editing suites at college and will mean I spend a lot more time on my production than I feasibly could at college. I plan on encoding rough cuts at the end of each editing week to show to my tutors.
Due to the fact that the deadline for this short film is not until April 2011, whereas the Media Studies deadline for my music video is in a few weeks, Christmas 2010, I am going to be putting all my focus on the music video to make sure it is completed within the deadline. I will start shooting this short film in January 2011 (in my own time with no scheduled lesson time for the project) and I intend to have it completed by March 2011, at the very latest.
