• 4/26 2:08 pm - Audio edits are rough. Movement with your shots should have purpose, show action. I had to go 30 seconds before knowing what I was even watching…not making me interested anymore. The frame on the interview is ok but secure your shot with a tripod. Use broll to hide your jump cuts.
• 4/10 1:30 pm - Good idea to tell the compelling story of a local library branch manager who found his passion. The awkward audio jump cuts throughout the edit was very distracting. Shooting broll would really help build the story, but when you do shoot the visuals to help complement the story use a tripod so it's easier for your audience to connect your visual direction with the audio content. One of the great benefits of shooting in a local space is that you should have access to shoot a lot of video, next time take advantage of that so you can support your great narrative story.
