GoPro Filming

For our project we are looking at borrowing a GoPro camera from one of our friends. We are doing this because a GoPro camera will give us a lot of flexibility with the style of our video. A GoPro is a waterproof camera which is often used for action sports but because of the mounts that are available for the cameras it will be very easy to shoot first person footage with. 
Liam came up with the idea of trying to get hold of a mount to hold the camera to my wakeboard to see what footage we can get from me riding and seeing whether this would be a suitable idea to use in our video. I have looked at GoPro wakeboarding clips on YouTube to look for filming ideas and to see what it looks like using different angles and I am going to see what I will be able to do with it next time I go riding.

We have chosen to use this type of camera because they can film in 720p and full 1080p. There is also a GoPro app that we will be able to use which will allow us to control the camera and also stream the videos straight to our phones which will make clips much easier to sort out and edit. They also have waterproof housings with them which will allow us to take the water shots that we want.

This is a short video of wakeboarding footage filmed on a GoPro. This video shows first person shots which we would be able to use once we get hold of the camera. It also shows the quality that we will be able to film in which I think is very suitable for our music video.
