- 3/3 1:34 pm - The story of good versus evil is apparent, but not sure where the story goes from there. Why is she going through this battle? Good dancing scenes, and good facial expressions from the actress. The use of a singer in this music video could have made it much better- the girl in the story singing these emotional words would have had a huge impact. Why the special ghosting effect on only ONE shot? Tripod could have been used in a lot more shots. Had a good number of shots, and a good variety of camera angles. A bit confusing as to where the other girls in black went towards the middle to end of the video. They disappeared? Overall, a decent video.
- 2/28 11:49 am - Good job editing to the tempo. Nice use of low angle and a variety of shots. I am not sure if the white balance is off or if the park scened are intentionally violet but the color scheme drastically changes later in the video. The music video kind of feels like two versions mixed together with the school scenes and the park scenes not working well together. One suggestion would be to connect the two concepts throughout. Overall a very captivating and a quality music video.
Judge 1
Positives: Really nice quick cuts to match the music. Very dramatic presentation. Great camera work and editing was really well done.
Improvements: In several of the early clips it looks like your white balance is off. If this was an intended affect, then perhaps it should have been taken a bit further.
Judge 2
Positives: Interesting story. Some great camerawork.
Improvements: Story was a bit hard to follow in terms of depth of character. Some parts were duplicative.
