I would say that the pacing in the video comes off a little slower in comparison to what it could be. The scene of the two of you at the kitchen island at the beginning, for instance, just feels like it goes on a bit too long. A greater variety of shots edited more frequently would help break up the pacing a bit. Also make sure that your white balance is checked when shooting outside. It's super difficult to get this right sometimes, but when you do, some of those outdoor shots will be more crisp. Keep up the amazing work and keep up your passion!
  • 2/21 12:37 pm - This music video effectively utilizes the chosen song as a storytelling device, enhancing the narrative's coherence and emotional impact. The overall storyline unfolds smoothly, with each element seamlessly blending into the next to create a cohesive whole. However, there are some technical aspects that could be improved upon. Some shots appear to lack proper white balance, resulting in inconsistencies in color temperature throughout the video. Additionally, incorporating a greater variety of angles could enhance visual interest and add depth to the storytelling. One aspect that could be clarified is whether the characters are meant to be singing the song or simply acting out the story. There seems to be a slight ambiguity in this regard, which could potentially be addressed by focusing more clearly on one approach over the other. This clarification could help strengthen the overall concept and coherence of the video. Despite these suggestions, the video demonstrates a commendable effort in its execution and storytelling. With some refinements in technical aspects and narrative clarity, it has the potential to become even more impactful and engaging.
