Cinematic shots of fun moments from the first semester

4/23 6:33 pm - :41 seconds of content is hard to show a full range of cinematic to compete in this category. Many of the shots look like they are in Auto from a Smartphone, so the use of light is hard to define.
4/23 9:43 am - Keepers: Your reel is aptly named, as you excelled at capturing candid footage of your subjects in bright, happy, and cheery situations. It like the shot of the ball being passed to the kid and then pulling back to reveal the scene at the carnival with the dunk tank. Improvements: Your reel does not do a great job at demonstrating the wide range of image control skills cinematographers use to create moving pictures. Part of this is due to the short runtime of your reel and some of this is caused by exposure inconsistencies and lack of situational variety (almost all was day exterior). Continue to develop your shooting skills by filming everything you can. Put yourself in different lighting and location situations to challenge your compositional abilities.
4/17 10:46 am - POSITIVES: You chose some interesting locations with engaging activities. Basic camera framing is good and steady. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: Very little range of composition, camera angle, lighting or focus manipulation. Most shots are done at eye level with no tilt or camera movement. Too many shots feel like they are candid shots of friends mugging for the camera (breaking the 4th wall), and not something that would be part of a "story".
