Overall I am pleased with the footage. We managed to replicate the original video extremely well considering we do not have a professional studio or the budget of a record label. The sets used in the original video are quite simple so were easy for us to replicate. For example, for the white scenes we put a drumkit, amps and a wooden frame in front of a white cyclorama.

I found that costume, movement and characteristics were the most important aspects to playing character as opposed to race or hairstyle. For example, Kayvon was cast as Matt Healy and played the character extremely well. Aesthetically, Kayvon and Matt Healy are vastly different but by studying Matt Healy's movements, attitude and characteristics Kayvon made sure looks didn't affect his performance.

One problem that we faced was that our lighting was sometimes quite different to the original. Because we were only using ProcAmp and Three Way Colour Corrector, this was hard to fix in grading. There were some problems that we could not fix in Adobe Premiere Pro. For example, in the white scenes the top corners are darker than the rest of the backdrop.

I am also pleased with my edit. Everything is in sync and we were able to use our favourite shots to make the edit we wanted. We uploaded our final edit to Youtube and it now has over 1,600 views after just 5 days. Even though I am pleased with the edit, I wish I had spend more time on grading as I feel there are some shots that weren't quite right. For example, the two shot of Matt Healy and Tate Ashley is slightly blue but we found this difficult to replicate in grading.

Overall I am extremely happy with the footage and our edit. Based on previous remakes I was expecting the same quality which is what we got and even surpassed in some cases.
