Evaluation Q3 - Are you pleased with the footage and your finished edit? Is it how you expected it to look? What works well and what would you change?

Overall, I am extremely please with my final and the quality of footage that we were able to get in just one day. All of the feedback that I have got has been positive and many people have said that they think "It looks so professional" and "How did you manage to do that in school".

I think that our video was very successful and professional due to how close we were able make our video match the original video. The areas that I am particularly please with the outcome are:

• The accurate lip syncing
• The performance of everyone who took part
• The precise and quick cuts between shots
• The grading in  the video as there are parts of the video that the colour of the overall shot vary greatly. Such as:

(Left) Ungraded video // (Right) Graded video

We graded the footage above with the aim of matching the dark background in the original. At first this was difficult as the background was white and matched the floor but we managed to get around this and get a similar look.

We used the ProcAmp tool to grade some of the video.

We used the Gaussian Blur to create a smoother transition from the dark background and the light floor colour. We did this as we felt the blur transition would make it appear as if it was the lighting at the time.

Even though our video was good and especially our grading. One thing I would take from this video is that it is important to match the lighting as close to the original video as possible when filming as it allows for an even closer match to the original video without looking out of place.

Such as this shot of Jack, where the background changes colour:
