Overall, i have learned that 80% my overall demographic of viewers thought my video was semi-decent to medio-core, this was okay to me as a whole due to my video being a practice/demo run of barbering video, this will have no real reflection or comparison to my final product as the real client will be pitching physically and most inconsistencies of the practice run shall be removed and replaced. A practice is a good way of me finding out what my audience needs are, and what spefically they want to see both visually and factually in my video. I have learned that my audience do not mostly care or disapprove of my transitional effects and editing techniques which is a good thing, however, from looks of my pie charts on the survey i have the feeling they won't want to see crazy effects and visuals in a barbering video. This is very understandable as it will be displayed and published on the college's official web-page so this change can easily been made and compromised. I intentionally didn't add facts nor information into my short demo to see how my viewer would react. They obviously thought their wasn't enough of it all, this is important for me to improve upon as facts & guided information is aboustelty essential into making a clean, educational and informing tutorial guide to cutting hair. 60% of my survey feedbackers said that they 'liked' my camera angles and shallow focus, deep focus style techniques however, they mostly where neutral about everything else, they weren't too bothered if my final product has all of the fancy colour grading or camera techniques they just want a very straight forward, clear, direct and pierce barbering video, which is valuable to make note of and consider whilst i'm finished shooting the final video in the future. 

Editing Practice

My first logical step to getting the captured footage onto primere pro (from microsoft teams) was to download the movie files from the microsoft teams page shown below. I selected & highlighted the spefic video clips that i wan't to move over and isolated the others that i didn't want to use using the I Mac's waste bin near the bottom of the viewfinder.

Once they where downloaded i made sure to save them in a file space that would be appriote for me to recall and remember, this meant that my files had to be organised and oriented properly to help myself later down the line of production. This helps me to maximize my efficiency while editing and publishing both my test & final product. I saved this file on desktop and my APPLE HOME page. (A digital work file that can be accessed on all of the Macs thourghout the college) This is extremely useful to me as i was moving around from place to place quite a lot, and needed my work space envoirments to be has hassal free/stress free as possible.

Once i was certain that everything was filed up, organised and safely put in places that where appropriate, i then opened up primere pro on my I mac's desktop drive then proccedded to click on new project to start a brand new piece of project...

I was then greeted with the main editing dashboard of the programe. I clicked at the top of the section page FILE, IMPORT etc then selected the video files that i'd previously uploaded onto my apporoteily saved spaces and the Mac loaded them into my media files section on the far left. Here was when i ran thorough the video clips one more time (Individually) then selected the one clip that i wanted the video to start with for example as shown down below. I chose this spefic clip because i wanted it to be the establishing shot of the tutorial video and also the main thumbnail that was to be presented on youtube. This shot automatically conveys to the viewer exactly what will be in store thourghout the rest of the video and wastes no time in starting up.

I then proceeded to cut down the clip to the size and quantity that i wanted, as this was a short demonstration/practice run (and a true representation of the final product) i kept the goal of this video (to be as short as possible) realistic as possible, my next clips chosen where as follows (Seen down below in further screenshots) I edited the video to a click track (mentronone) the reason to why i did this was i wanted to edit the clip to match with the audio because i was going to be adding music in further down the video production. This helped me get an accrete and priecese timing into my video making the rhythm of video feel much more professional. The website that i got all of my non-copyright free background music was Bensound. https://www.bensound.com/

My final step of the editing process was adding my colour grading. The video clips where all shot with a neutral picture profile making them much easier to manipulate later down the video production line, and the shutter speed was set to 50, along with the frames per second set to 24, exposure was then set to 100 and the field of view was around 3.5 to 4.5 (averaging) depending on forms of lightsources. I choose to use a factory pre-set LUT within the premiere pro colour panel. A (LUT) is a conduit/code to transform colour (RGB) output values to give your final footage a different look or feel. Overall to simplify, you can think of LUTs as preset colour looks fro your video footage that can help to speed up the editing process. This was good for me to utilize and take advantage of at the time as since this was only a practice tutorial video i didn't have to go sooo in depth into my finalised editing and finishing touches, however  when it comes to my REAL client video i will take this stage much more seriously and have a more hands on role in the colour grading process. 

                                                                               

To transfer my finished video onto any public consumer platform i made sure everything was all rendered and playback speed was accrete to match my frames per second. Then when i was happy with that, i went to FILE, EXPORT, SELECT MEDIA. I proccedded to then to save my MP-4 (video) to desktop for ease of access as it will only be needed for a couple of seconds. 

I then opened up my youtube account on mange videos then clicked the CREATE NEW VIDEO button and give me the option of uploading a pre-exisiting video already edited and made. I searched thorough my desktop files and found my video and imported it into the youtube servers and then published it successfully.                                                                                                                                                              

You can find my final product on youtube as shown above on the first paragraph...
