- 4/14 9:46 am - Pros: Artistic Composition in Still Images: The still photographs included in the reel exhibit a strong sense of composition. Elements such as framing, use of negative space, and subject placement are thoughtfully executed, demonstrating an eye for visual storytelling. Consistent Color Grading: The color tones across both stills and motion segments maintain a cohesive aesthetic. This consistency contributes to the overall mood and visual harmony of the reel. Improvements: Overreliance on Still Photography: While the still images are well-composed, the reel's heavy dependence on them limits the demonstration of dynamic cinematography skills. Incorporating more motion footage would better showcase abilities in camera movement, scene coverage, and real-time storytelling. Limited Demonstration of Exposure Control: The static nature of still photographs does not effectively convey proficiency in managing exposure during live-action shooting. Including varied lighting scenarios in motion footage would provide a clearer indication of exposure handling capabilities. Minimal Camera Movement and Angles: The reel lacks diversity in camera movements and angle variations. Introducing techniques such as tracking shots, pans, tilts, and creative angle choices would enhance the visual interest and demonstrate technical versatility. Overall: The reel showcases a solid foundation in visual composition through its still photographs. To fully demonstrate cinematography competencies, it's essential to include more motion footage that highlights skills in camera operation, exposure control, lighting dynamics, and scene coverage. This will provide a better example of technical abilities and storytelling prowess.
- 4/9 8:09 am - Interesting mix of shots that didn't have a flow or continuity to them as far as the edit goes. Many didn't show your ability to use natural or artificial lighting either, which is a key part of this category. You have a lot of different setups, but they just don't showcase a lot of your ability.
- 4/3 2:59 pm - Some of the shots here are quite beautiful. Many of the shots that are most beautiful in fact are still frames and don't truly push the envelope in the way that cinematography reels frequently showcase moving images, camera movements, and careful use of lighting and framing.. I also think that you would have benefited from varying in camera angles and genres to display your cinematography skills in this category.
