• 4/19 9:43 am - Nice use of pacing and editing to the music but the use of light wasn’t on display. Plenty of nice stuff was, but the actual elements of great cinematography (composition, lighting and clean movement) wasn’t.
• 3/31 4:25 pm - Camera: -Most of your shots are wide shots, could have benefitted from a more diverse range of angles and compositions. -Some shots are shaky, use some sort of stabilization device such as a tripod or shoulder mount -The slow push in on the black jeep is a nice shot! Lighting: -Most of your shots used natural lighting or used the lighting that was already present in the space. Have some fun with lighting! Editing: -Reel ends abruptly, should create a clear ending for your piece -I am not sure what the tone or story of this piece is. Even though it is a cinematography reel, I believe that through the editing, images, and music that it should presenta cohesive product.
