- 4/14 9:05 am - Exposure: Overall, exposure is well-managed. However, the high-contrast scene at 0:30 could benefit from adjusted settings to preserve detail in both highlights and shadows. Focus: While most shots are sharp, the focus pull at 1:10 is slightly delayed, causing a brief moment of softness. Practicing precise focus transitions will enhance the viewing experience. Composition: The framing at 0:50 effectively utilizes negative space, adding to the visual appeal. Consistent application of such techniques contributes to a compelling narrative. Camera Movement: The handheld shot at 1:30 adds a raw, intimate feel but introduces slight shakiness. Utilizing stabilization tools or techniques can maintain the desired effect without compromising stability. Lighting: The backlighting at 0:25 creates a dramatic silhouette effect, enhancing the scene's mood. Consistent use of such lighting strategies can elevate the overall cinematography. PROS: Composition and intentional camera movement. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: Lighting consistency and Focus mechanics.
- 4/9 8:06 am - Great job with the fundamentals of exposure, use of artificial lighting and composition. Your variety of shots, especially the landscapes were refreshing. Good use of movement, letting the action guide the viewer while maintaining a point of view. Would love to have seen some motion and more diverse types of shots to show off more range.
- 3/20 8:39 am - You've shown a good diversity of shots with lots of different material and solid use of filmmaking fundamentals. You really shine in the fictional scenes where you highlight your ability to light spaces and people very effectively, while also controlling focus and highlighting shallow depth of field. Good work!
