After spending the majority of the lesson looking for a solution
to this, towards the end of the lesson in Adobe Photoshop we found the 'Clone Stamp' tool. We used this to remove the light in the clip without cropping the light out as this would make the specific part of the video look a different ratio to the rest. We also tried to cover the light with a black photo, however, it was too obvious and stood out. The tool works by selecting the part of the clip you wish to duplicate, we selected another part of the black background and copied this over the top of the area we wanted to get rid of.
