Entry Description

A compelling story to Coldplay's "Talk"

Judge 1

Positives: Different uses a multiple characters helped the video. Editing to the beat was well done.

Improvements: Did not like the black hole in the middle of the video. I am guessing it was due to the "MISSING PIECE" lyric but felt more like an editing mistake.

Judge 2

Positives: Nice use of rack focus. Good job keeping the camera moving. Good to see some nice close ups! You were not afraid to get the camera in there!!!!! Great lip-sync!

Improvements: I am not sure if it was intentional that the camera would not only change colors, but also went from a very nice diffused look to a very sharp and crisp image from time to time. I am not sure if I really liked this and of it worked for me. Steady the camera up just a bit more. I love the handheld and "dutch" angles, but I was sometimes distracted by your execution.

Judge 3

Positives: Good camera - shot selection. Editing pace is strong - good cutting.

Improvements: In what appeared to be serious /dramatic shots - lots of smiling/play between actors - didn't jive w/ the narrative. Audio sync was off on some close up shots.
