Studio Session 1 - Footage Review

After editing the test/choreography footage together with some already captured VHS footage, we managed to get a feel for how the final video would turn out to be. Using the animatic's edit to the beat of the song as a guide, we used a similar edit style for this test.


Seeing as the only studio shot we have is the LS establishing the studio setting, these shots are quite boring as there is no change in pace or variety of framing. However, we will have a wide selection of camera angles to choose from when we eventually do the shoot in costume. Apart from that minor detail I personally feel the image and look of the shot is very similar to what we were trying to achieve, and seeing as this is only the first footage it is a really good indicator of getting the final product to look professional and to a standard we feel comfortable with. I have also grown to like the black lines brought on by the VHS's 4:3 ratio as it gives a better contrast between the HD and VHS shots and adds to the authenticity of the footage.
