Improvements:

• Could improve lip syncing at points 
• Guitar strumming is sometimes out of time with the strumming in the song
• Some shots are untidy and shaky 
• Improve quality
• Need to change chord on guitar anymore
• Could have varied location more

With regards to the improvements, as a group we feel that some of them are warranted such as the lip syncing and the guitar strumming but these are only at some little points in the video and overall we think that these points work throughout our video. We thought we used a range of locations for our performance and we could only really use a few to get the narrative of our video across. We tried to mask the lack of locations we could use through the angles and movement of the camera which we think worked really well. There was one shot which was a bit shaky but this was the best we got as we didn't have a dolly so we had to use it and this was one point we could definitely improve on next time by using a dolly. The quality is fine and we think it was the projector that our video was played on that made it look bad as we made sure that the video was of the best quality and on YouTube is played at 1080p.
