[3] Are you pleased with the footage and your edit? Is it how you expected it to look?

The edit for our group was surprisingly good and I personally think the final video looks amazing. I was doubting how some shots would look before the shoot, such as the scenes containing the vespa or the shots where the props were noticeably different to the actually ones, such as the 1975 neon sign or the zebra crossing scenes, however they turned out rather well. Some shots were worse than I had expected them to be, and were harder to edit and correct in premiere. Scenes such as the GIRLS sign made of flowers or the shot of Kayvon lip syncing on a yellow background proved the most difficult. With the GIRLS sign, it was the fact that the shot had not been framed or lit correctly, and so was a lot harder to grade in order to make it coincide with the other shots. As for the shots of Kayvon on a yellow background, the director failed to do a full take of the song and so It was incredibly difficult to edit the individual clips, which required watching 15 minutes of footage to find a 2 second snippet. Other than those two incidents, the footage was perfect. My favourite shots include the ones of the band, both female and male, and the poolside scenes with the three girls in the deck chairs, as although some of them are completely different to the original video, they look the nicest.

The Scenes where Kayvon is on a yellow backdrop, which we did not have a complete edit of.

The bike scene (previously the car scene) which I was surprised by.

The 'GIRLS' logo which was quite dissimilar to the original, which proved tough to grade.
