Final Cut

Finished

We have now finished our music video. We have edited all of our footage and added the necessary effects. There is a colour overlay for both the band shots in the room and the shots in the fields. The main change that has been made to the video is that we didn't shoot any Cambridge shots, for example on the River Cam. This is due to many reasons, which included illness to one of the band members, weather issues and work commitments. However, we feel that even though these shots were not captured, we feel that the shots that we did end up capturing to satisfactory. We didn't include as much editing tricks in the final video as we had originally planned, but we feel that the quick editing, effects and well worked shots made up for this. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the final product.
