Judging by most of the comments, the unsteady camera at times bothered the overall audience enjoyment of our project. I think one of the mos important lessons learnt during the making of this music video was to have back-up lighting all the time, and film from the brightest point during the day when filming in wooded areas.With a little more hindsight, now that the video is complete, I think it would've been wise to take some tester shots of the thread in the appropriate environment to ensure the lighting and contrast would work. To conclude- the lighting (and Final Cut Pro), along with my unsteady hand are what caused the drop in quality of our music video. Although when shooting in natural-lit areas, the same lighting is never guaranteed, although it's probably best to have another source around for back-up, which unfortunately we didn't think was necessary.
