- 3/7 2:03 pm - This is a video set to music. The shots looked great- great color, composition, framing- you can tell each shot was planned took some time to set up. But after the first verse (where the lyrics matched the shots we were seeing) it was just a bunch of shots of a town put to music. These could be great shots for a commercial for the town, or shots to put in your cinematography reel. Perhaps adding a singer to the video would strengthen the video's credibility as a music video. Be careful on indoor shots- for example, the basketball shot got really dark compared to everything else. There were some really LONG shots too- and not sure why. Some of the longest shots were of a tree, or of a fence. The shot looked nice, but kept waiting for something to happen and it never did. Try to keep a good pace in the video- edit to the beat and look for multiple angles of your shots to add variety. Major audio jump cut at the end of the video- probably to make the time constraint- but work that to make it sound seamless. Love your shot selection, but need to strengthen your storyline to be a great music video.
