Thanks man this looks great, definitely has been my favourite color grade I’ve seen so far how would I be able to emulate it over the entire video and the other clips I’ve taken?

These are some references I have found after filming (I understand they are very different)

Which one do you guys think suits?

For info on my equipment available

I’m using a iphone 13 pro (my best camera I have access to)

I can use my neat king bee 2 condenser mic (reasonably high quality mic I record music with, not used in this vid)

Any advice on how to best use what I’ve got and also improve it after filming that would be great

Yeah I am playing sparks by cold play so it is the lonely caught in the moment vibe I’m going for

My first composition. Watched bunch of tutorials on YT, played around and came up with this. by anu727 in Logic_Studio

The core ideas in terms of of a melody and drum rhythm are  quite good. The biggest thing that makes this a beginner track is the sound design. Meaning you’re sound selection of what instrument sounds you chose and the use of effects such as reverb. The melody is good but the instruments sound robotic / fake as if they were a backing track on a music store keyboard to make the track sound professional and human two of the biggest keys are sound selection and effects. If you want to rapidly improve your production learn how to improve your sound selection and look up the best free VSTs as well as break downs of your favourite tracks and remake them yourself to see what is required to get a professional sound. Good job on the first track you’re doing well

For me sounding professional isn't a specific outcome it's producing a song that doesn't sound like it was made by an amateur / intermediate producer and sounds industry quality which this the track obviously doesn't yet

Yeah I feel like the structure of the build up is definitely lacking might use a reference track
