• 4/12 2:50 pm - Good movement and variety of shots, but the composition and use of light didn’t inspire. The rac focusing could have been more purposeful as could have been your selection of shots. A lot of the footage looked flat, or in-camera effected where color correction could have really helped give it a distinctive look.
• 3/31 5:26 pm - Camera: -Some camera movements are shaky--look out for that--you will want to use either a tripod or some way to stabilize the camera -You have a few really nice pans--the shot of the corn and the blueberries -The GoPro shots while interesting, do not tell me much in terms of your abilities as a camera operator. 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: -Ending seems a little abrupt. I just felt as if the piece started to pick up the pace and then it ended. Probably because you ran out of footage, but you want to consider your beginning and end and make sure it flows nicely.
