Evaluation Question 3: Are you pleased with the footage and your finished edit? Is it how you expected it to look? What works really well and what would you change?

My groups edit of the shake it off remake is shown below. My editing skills have improved since the start of this project. You can see from the edit that our lip-sync is in time and the shots are well graded. We have created the remake the best we could have done given our equipment but still managed to produce something which is convincing.

The shot is before and after grading with Levels on the end scene shots, as you can see it has made the darker colours very vibrant but left everything else the same

The ‘Levels’ effect

Things that went well:

• Costumes that are accurate and similar to the original music video.
• Grading makes shots look professional.
• The effects used such as zooms makes our remake more convincing.

Things that could be improved:

• Some of the shots are not identical to the original music video such as the hip hop dance moves. Saying this however we did the best we could given our actors.
• We didn’t have enough cheerleaders and so I would re-film some of these shots and use the whole cast so it looks more like the music video.
