- 4/24 9:36 am - Keepers: Really good close-up compositions throughout. Your angle and framing choices are strong, especially in the music video and weight room CUs, allowing your subjects to perform within the frame. As far as your specific reel goes, it feels like the closer the shot, the more intriguing the shot. The best shot from the entire basketball sequence was the CU of the coach during the timeout. The best shot from the baseball sequence was the CU of the guy playing catch. Improvements: There were a lot of shots out of focus. Be sure to zoom all the way in on your subject to set focus as sharp as possible and then set your shot size. If you change the distance between the camera and your subject, be sure to reset the focus. The basketball footage would benefit from the use of a tripod. The shakiness is distracting to the viewer. Watch your exposure in the uncontrolled lighting situations; keep your exposure high enough to maintain proper contrast. This can be especially challenging with darker skin tones, so using the exposure compensator on the camera can be helpful but setting it to +1 or +1.5.
- 4/23 6:36 pm - Keep working on focusing the viewer's attention through composition and focus as many of your shots were from a standard eye-level perspective, besides the sports shot from the stands.
- 4/17 11:00 am - POSITIVES: Camera: Some shot variety included; weight room shots are more interesting than your game action shots. Camera movement follows game action smoothly. Lighting: Daylight and Night shots are included AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: A number of shots are not in sharp focus (first 4); there are some framing errors like too much headroom The game action shots are nice, but not unusual in their framing or camera angle. LS are all done at eye level, and needed some variety. Night shots have focus issues, especially on the flashing light source @:03--use Manual Focus to get it nailed.
