We have now uploaded the clips that we filmed on the 30th of November, and once we put the clips into final cut we realised that some of the clips are different colours therefore we need to do some colour correction to make sure the clips are the same colours. We have realised that this maybe quite tricky to do because we will have to try and make them all the same colour, a way in which we could get past using colour correction is to make all the studio clips black and white so that the change in lighting doesn't have a dramatic change.

This what what the original footage looks like and it shows the colour and lighting difference between both clips. As you can see one clip looks slightly yellow, where as the other clip has a hint of green.

In this screen shot we used colour balance to try and make the clips the same colour, but yet again they still look different. One of the clips still have a slight hint of green, therefore if we use colour balance on both of the clips we could make them more similar and also have an effect that looks good.

Also during this lesson we lip synced the clips with the audio in final cut so when it comes to editing with the storyline footage it will not take as long, this is will give us more time when editing. 

We also noticed that in some of the clips the mic's where in the way of the girls faces, and this doesn't really work well because in a girl band the girls need to be seen because its not really good to have a music video of a band but not being able to see any of them.
