A 7 camera shoot of an act from Glenbrook North's Variety Show, Kinetic. Production involved a week of rehearsals and run-throughs.
Positives: -great variety of shots that were fluid and showed creativity and allowed the viewer to see the dance routing from multiple angles. -awesome job changing the shots with purpose and using the wide shots when they were most beneficial to the viewer
Improvements: -a few close up shots of people's faces dancing could add a bit more variety -consider starting with wider, establishing shots at the top to give the audience a full picture of the performance, then cut to your medium shot
Positives: Great mix of camera angles and camera locations. I liked that the directing for the most part was following the music and camera transitions and movements were taken by the beat.
Improvements: Being there was a large group of dancers, if the up close camera angle's were a little wider at times other than the super wide shot, we would see faces of the dancers off to the side. Overall great work!!
Positives: Really well done production - it was clear that this had been thought out and rehearsed. Directing was very purposeful and well paced, and the camera work was excellent throughout. Loved the mixture of camera movements - great mix between zooming in and zooming out, and everything was very slow and controlled the entire time.
Improvements: Would have liked a little bit of NAT sound mixed in at the end to be able to hear (what I assume was) applause from the audience. This was really great overall so I am nitpicking here, but the widest head-on shot was a little too wide for my taste - would have preferred it to be tilted down and cropped in slightly to avoid seeing the screens on the back of the stage. Again, nitpicking.
