Critique 1 Response

The first critique overall was very useful for preparing for the next project. Things I noted that were mentioned in others' critiques were often about lighting and pacing. I noticed that not enough light can create dominating darkness or very flat shots. Pacing also stood out among a lot of pieces, as cutting up shots and trying different angles could be beneficial for my next piece. Another note that stood out to me that I've run into before as a problem is to remember what the viewer sees of my work; I sometimes have something in my mind that isn't shown enough, but it's also important to not go overboard as well and be screaming a message or a narrative I'm trying to get across.

For my own critique, it really helped to learn that the panning was creating an effect for the viewers that I didn't notice. I also feel like I should have been more specific on the clothing I needed for my talent, as it came across that there was more than one character. I also learn I need to tighten more of my shots, and I need to focus more on edited shots and less extensive pans mixed with these unless I need a different effect.

My biggest issue I feel was my sound being too low after the edit, and I feel I can maybe work on this in general with both the filming and editing process.
