Segment of Waubonsie Valley's Jazz Showcase
Positives: -nice job starting with an establishing shot -great job following the action and showing the student with a solo
Improvements: -make sure to monitor shots before you take them or you could catch awkward moments -try not to overuse the wide shot, it's difficult to see the entire band because it's far away.
Positives: Lighting was difficult to shoot under. Some camera shots could have been tighter in a subject.
Improvements: Director tried to keep it moving with music and sequence from shot and shot and for the most part it worked well. Audio was fairly good and solid.
Positives: - Good job isolating on solo performers, especially the trombonist. Picking the right moment to focus on the right performer really helps the viewer get the feel for the show. - Liked the effective use of dissolve transitions between cameras rather than hard cuts.
Improvements: - Jazz is free flowing and dynamic, so I would have liked to feel that through the cameras as well. Having one or two of the cameras add some smooth, intentional movement into their shots - like panning down a row of musicians - would really bring home the feel of the performance. - The audio was a little distorted on the recording at times.
