- 4/27 8:41 pm - Good guitar close-up at 0:48. 1:12 The far guitar is hidden by the lead singer so maybe frame the close guitarist in the frame more since we can see him. The sound is good and feels live since we can hear the audience.
- 4/27 8:16 am - Critique primarily for director: 0:29 - Crossed the 180-degree line. 0:48 - Great tight shot. 0:55 - If you’re going to frame that wide, just include feet. 1:24 - Go tight on hands or include his head. 0:58 - Would have been fun to attempt 5 cuts on these 5 quick beats; not impossible, since you have 8 cameras. 8 cameras, but not one on audience’s faces. Clean audio.
- 4/13 8:46 pm - Thank you for your entry and sharing your creation with us. I very much enjoyed viewing your submission. Just a few observations. Adding some tighter shots on performers would be helpful, but framing and shot takes overall are good. Good audio. Some crowd shots would add to the live feel. Again, enjoyed viewing your submission and thank you again for entering!
Judge 1
Positives: -Great variety of shots and capturing the emotion of the singer with a tight shot -Nice job following the action and using a wide shot to open and close the performance
Improvements: -Try not to cut off faces with your medium shots -Make sure the director pays attention to not taking a shot if the composition has errors
Judge 2
Positives: Good camera positions to cover all angles. Great tight shots of the guitar, drums, and lead singer and having all cameras well balanced.
Improvements: If the camera shots switch to the beat of the music, it would help the pacing of the video matching the pace of the music. Some of the shots were on for a little long. Even though it was nice to see the close-ups of the instruments, it would also be nice to have a little wider shots of the musicians playing as well.
Judge 3
Positives: - Good job focusing on the dynamic lead singer, who was bringing all of the energy to the performance. - Sound was very well mixed.
Improvements: - Need a quicker pace of cutting between shots. You tended to sit on the same camera for quite a while. - Watch some of the framing - the drumset cutaway didn't include the drummer's head!
