Most of us have very little experience using video cameras and so the camera work isn't quite right in places. The only place this is relevant is in the cutaways, since we were responsible for our own abilities with the interview. I have already covered how I used colour correction to improve the clips but I something that was consistent across all the clips was that the camera was not flat.
To correct this I have used the motion tab in the viewer to rotate the footage. It doesn't need to be rotated much, but I manually adjusted the between 1 and 2 degrees and judged this by looking for any pillars and making sure they were straight vertical lines. It makes such a difference even though it's only being rotated a little. This meant that in the corners there was no footage so I enlarge the scale just enough so that the image filled the screen.
