  • 4/17 4:04 pm - This reel shows you taking some risks and enjoying the act of filming. It doesn't showcase a level of craftsmanship that goes much beyond the fundamentals, whether that is in composition or control of the camera or lighting. However this is a strong start and keep up the good work!
  • 4/15 9:13 am - PROS - Basic Camera Operation: The reel demonstrates fundamental camera handling skills, with steady shots and basic framing that effectively capture the subject matter. Natural Lighting Usage: Scenes are generally well-lit using available light sources, providing clear visibility of subjects without overexposure. IMPROVEMENTS - Creative Composition and Camera Movement: The reel predominantly features static shots with minimal variation in angles or movement. Incorporating diverse shot types and dynamic camera movements could enhance visual interest and storytelling. Lighting Control and Intentionality: While natural lighting is utilized, there is a lack of deliberate lighting setups to convey mood or focus attention. Experimenting with controlled lighting techniques would add depth and professionalism to the footage. OVERALL - this reel showcases foundational skills in camera operation and natural lighting. To elevate the reel, focusing on creative composition, intentional lighting design, and cohesive editing will be essential. Incorporating a narrative structure or thematic consistency can further demonstrate storytelling capabilities and technical proficiency.
  • 4/9 8:13 am - Nice edit to unique music, but the images weren't as unique as the edit. If you shared a second minute worth of more advanced uses of light, movement and composition that would have made this a stronger submission.
