  • 3/13 10:53 am - Interesting jump cuts to the beat at the beginning. Images at the beginning create a distinct melancholy mood. But you left the viewer with too many unanswered questions. You’ve got the viewer hooked into your character and then your video abruptly ends. The viewer wants to know where she is going, what choices will she make.
  • 3/6 2:13 pm - This may fit into the Dramatic Narrative category better than music video. There are times you edit to the sound of the music, which is nice. The type of music used makes the viewer think more it's a silent film than a music video. On top of that, there are no lyrics, thus no singer in the video as well. Technically, there are some nice shots which are framed well and have nice color. Make sure you are using a tripod all the time- as some shots are perfectly steady while others at the beginning are quite shaky. Jump cuts to show passage of time used well. Though it shows a person going through a day, there lacks a storyline or theme that we are searching for, and need to make sense of everything. It has the start of a potentially good music video.
