  • 4/23 12:34 pm - Great compilation of performances! The mic check/instrument plug-in at the beginning definitely added to the video. Great editing.
  • 4/17 11:04 am - STORY: You did a great job including a variety of different performers for the variety show. You conveyed essential information effectively! SOUND: Great use of sound and SFX throughout your video. I like how we start with the sound from the jack and the mic tap! Very creative! CAMERA: You use a wide variety of different shots in your video as well as angles which is great! I think one thing to pay close attention to is framing and focus. At 0:01 - Focus is just slightly on the hand in the back. I think you should have pulled focus here to be on the jack being plugged in since that is the focus of this shot. You do have very soft focus on your shots at 0:08, 0:19 and 0:21. At 0:03 - Great start with this shot! Think about framing and the rule of thirds. Right now it seems like someone may sneak up behind this person with the way he is placed in the frame. You want to create lead room in front of your actors. Instead of placing your actor on the right side of the frame, I would place the actor on the left side in this shot. At 0:12 - you have the right idea with framing here. I would move the camera over to the left just slightly so that the piano player is more to the right of the frame. Right now the performer seems to be almost center frame. It just feels a little bit off. LIGHTING: I think you did a great job using the stage lights. Using the fog also helps to create more depth and dynamic images! Great job with this! I would say that the shot at 0:23 is slightly overexposed with the person on stage. I know that stage lights can be a challenge! EDITING: You did a great job editing to the beat. Your editing demonstrates a clear story and fluency overall! The timing of your cuts stayed consistent throughout.
