I am extremely pleased with the footage; the cameras we used were so high tech and the footage created was so sharp and high quality. It created a really proffessional look, especially with the lens flares, rivaling a 'JLS video' as many of our classmates had said on the shoot day.
I am also really pleased with our edit, as it matches the song and reflects the joyful excited mood very well. We stuck to the general order of the original 5ive video, but did not stick to the exact same cuts and shots as we had done previously in our re-edit task. Instead, we found the best parts from all our shots and cut it in a way that made sense and looked good. I particularly like the cutaways at the beginning of our video, the crowd shots, the confetti shots and the tracking shots of the band. All these shots looked really nice when placed into the video, and are very similar to the original music video too. My favourite part of our edit is the end, with the band walking off on the last beat of the song. We changed the ending from the original video, but I think this works really well; it shows our band to have a bit of attitude and shows it's the end of the song and video.
The colour grading was a tough job, but I think we did it to a good standard. We made the shots slightly blue and less yellow (the original shots were very orangey yellow due to the strong lighting) so that it still reflected the 5ive video - which is very blue - but didn't make it too cold so it could still show the happy, excited feel.
So although it is not exactly a remake of the 5ive video, I think we did a really good job and it totally exceeded all my expectations (especially because the cameras used created such beautiful shots!)
