My first video

My Evaluation

What went well in my video was the editing. I believe that I successfully edited the right parts to create a video that flowed with ease. I found the variety of shots to be a challenge but managed to mould them all together into my opening (this video as a whole); those shots being the long shot, the medium shot and the close up shot. I also found moving the camera around both of my actors' heads and zooming out from their feet to be quite creative as it allowed the audience to get a full perspective of them. The transitions, in my opinion, paired well with the clips and separated each one precisely; the blurred one being my favourite. I was able to fade the music out at the end of my video in order to create a sense of closure which is a lot more effective than having the music just cut off. Overall, I believe that my first attempt of making a short video was quite a success and I am happy with the outcome.

Nonetheless, there is always something that can be altered or changed in a way that the video is more impressive, and the main thing in my video that would be tackled with improvement would be the steadiness of the camera. When I was moving it around my actor's heads the shots were a little shaky and I would love to be able to recreate those shots so that they're filmed in a more steady manner. If I were to develop this video further I would film more shots, more scenes and perhaps include some speech which would escalate this average video into a higher quality piece of footage.
