roughcut feedback from class

This morning we reviewed the roughcuts of everyone and wrote about their strengths and weaknesses. Here is my feedback for my roughcut:

Strengths:
  • I like the start of the 'Painting' bit.
  • I like the opening with the stage curtains opening.
  • Build up tension with painting, Performance is convincing, opening on stage.
  • great cuts, great footage.
  • Smooth cuts + variety of shots, good use of lighting.
  • good shots.
  • shot and camera movement, lighting.
  • I like how he uses quick shots in between the painting and the performance, shots are nice.
  • The painting 'I'm not alone' is really cool.
  • Nice use of cut-aways, lots of varied and interesting shots used, good lipsynching, I like how the footage goes out of focus at the beginning.
  • Fade transition from stage to Liam, usage of high angle shot of Angelica.
  • mise-en-scene.
  • Good lighting.
  • The performances are convincing.
  • Good lipsynch, lighting.
Weaknesses:
  • Could have more shots from different set ups.
  • Brought the band performance in too soon.
  • a 30 seconds add effect or something make camera look less shaky
  • closeups.
  • drummer looks lost.
  • lipsync needs tweaking.
  • drummer looks lost.
  • lip syncing.
  • Maybe some use of lighting cutaways.
  • We don't find out what she's painting. Will this come later?
  • using three out of four locations straight away, should slow down.
  • Cutting on a shots only half on Angelica, and shorting a shot with her laughing.
  • performer.
  • shots to ground at 0:32 needs to be cut sooner.
  • need to sort out drummer performance.
  • Drummer needs to be synced in fine or something.
  • Use variety of footage.
  • add more shots.
I am taking in the feedback I got today and will improve my video.
