When we uploaded our footage, we took a look through it and we found that in some of the shots there were things that we did not want in the shot. For example somebody's hand or an item of clothing that we didn't want in the shot. Once we had found these, we had to letter-box those shots so that we could cut out the unwanted items. However, this meant that we had to letterbox all the other shots so that all the frames would look equal and the same. It would look odd if some shots were letter-boxed and the rest of the shots were not.
This letter box effect did cause a problem with some of the shots though. Because of the angle of the shot some of the shots had to be shortened or lengthened so that we could fit them into the video so that it would be in sync. This sometimes affected lip synching when we showed a performance shot, but we were able to quickly overcome this problem.
