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?

• Overall, I am very pleased with the footage and proud of it. It has surpassed my expectations. Although we had to compromise for certain shots, as not all of them were the same as in the real music video, the majority were similar.
• Our costumes are very similar which improves the accuracy of the remake.
• The horizontal flips look really good, and I did not think we could achieve exactly the same effect, but we were able to. 
• I would have liked to have the shot where the drummer kicks the drums at the end but our solution works well. 
• Grading was done very quickly and I'm very pleased with how accurate many of the shots look. If we had more time, I would have liked to find out how to specifically fine tune particular parts of the shot e.g. make the guitarists' jeans redder.
