MMEA Fest

Singular moments of cinematic beauty, one second at a time. Captured by: Bianca Cura, South Elgin High School Music credit: licensed by Killer Tracks

4/25 2:20 pm - Solid opening, but not enough diversity of shots for a true reel- this is instead a compelling portrait of a place with some solid shooting.
4/24 12:38 pm - Pros - The location for this piece was a great choice, with lots of pretty compositions waiting to be captured. Although you were in one general location, there seemed to be a lot of variety as well. Cons - The timing of the piece felt short to the point that I still don't have an idea of your skills as a shooter, aside from pointing and shooting within a beautiful location. Many of your compositions are good at creating depth and giving the viewers lots of compelling imagery to look at (:05, :07, :12, :14), but other shots struggle to give the viewer a clear focus (:01, :06). Coupled with the brief screen time of the shot, much of its potential is missed. This piece uses entirely natural lighting and it that is all you are going to showcase, every shot has to be nailed. Earth tones tend to blend together and create muddy contrast (:22, :25, :34, :04, :06). Watch your focus on your subject as well (:26).
