After grading the video, there was very little left to do. I noticed that some of the shots looked a bit empty around the edges as all of the action was going on in the middle of the frame. I decided to go through the video and scale up any shots that looked empty. I didn't scale the shots past about 115% since making them too large would result in an obvious loss of quality. The change is pretty subtle but I do think it improves the video and makes the edited shots look a bit fuller. You can see the difference below.
Before After
The final thing that we did was add the the words to the final shot. As well as this, we blurred the footage a bit. We felt this gave the video the closure that it was lacking before and looked really nice, as well as imprinting the band's name into the viewer's mind as the video ends. We felt it was a really good way to anchor the band's image. It is also fairly typical of indie music videos to have the name of the song or band on the screen in some form.
