Me and Mea have a range of equipment available for us to complete these test to help insure our video is the best quality sound and footage.
Equipment Tested:
1.Canon DSLR 100D
2.iPhone 5s
3.Canon DSLR 1200D

All these types of cameras are good quality however some of them are more suited for the effect we want for our music video.

Reasons:
This camera is meant to be high quality however as shown on the video some of the footage is not. There was a struggle with trying to focus with this camera when moving or still which caused most of the footage to be blurry. We will not use this camera because of this problem as well as the cameras sound being sharp and hard to understand.

Reason:
The iPhone 5s quality of the video camera is quite poor, however the sound is much better than the Canon DSLR 100D. This still does not over take the fact the this equipment is not high tech enough for the footage me and Hannah would like to achieve in our music video which leads us to not using the iPhone 5s.

Reasons:
The Canon DSLR 1200D is a much better quality footage and sound wise compared to the other cameras we have tested with. There is a range of suitable features that will help with the appearance of our music video as well as the quality being clear as seen in the test video. We have chosen to use this camera to film our music video because of the better qualities it portrays.

Conclusion
