    It's poorly lit soft and in standard definition.

    It is also 16:9 letter box so this is 4:3 due to the big ass black bars top and bottom of screen.

    You will need to spend time in post to make this film better.

    A VERY subtle use of unsharp mask will work change the white balance and tinker about with the colours and you will get it fixed up.

    Also it is important to make a project which is 16:9 then scale up the picture to remove the black bars top and bottom. Then when you export it you will have a 16:9 picture. Hopefully you don;t need it full screen because it will look shite.
    Alternatively you could make a project 16:9 FHA then 'Strech' the footage to remove the black top and bottom, then export at 16:9 wide screen this will have the same effect as the other method.

    Either way, he has not filmed it well.
