Shot's Video Strengths and Weaknesses

Shot's Video Strengths and Weaknesses

In my last post I published my shots video. When filming the footage I was really excited to start editing my clips together but when it came to editing I was unhappy with some elements of my video. In the video when the camera angles change from low angle shot to medium close up there is a continuity issue as the position of Charlotte is slightly different in the separate frames. This makes the final production of my video look unprofessional. Another thing I would change if I had to do this task again would be to mute the audio on the clip where the phone rings as the noise of the ringtone doesn't work with the music played over the video. I would also consider the length of each of my clips.

One strength of my video is how the music adds tension to the video. When planning for the video I knew I wanted to include music rather than narrative for dramatic effect but I hadn't actually chosen the piece of music I wanted to use yet. I chose Forever I've Known by Macabees after I filmed the footage. In my opinion this was the best way to decide what music to use over videos as you know what will work best once you have a better idea of what the final outcome will look like. Another section of my video that I like in particular is the continuity between the medium/very long shot into the low angle shot. I think that looks professional and well edited.
