Indoors with a bland background wearing a cream sweater - no depth to the shot and no interesting or relative background props or posters to connect to the subject matter. Having him outdoors in running gear talking to cam would have made the transitions Allie's exterior footage smoother. At the end we see him again with Allie on a wide shot. Then a jump cut to a similar framing I found odd. If the intent was to give it a cool look it didn't work because there wasn't similar jump cuts earlier to establish a trend. Audio was spotty, a bit bouncy inside. Audio mix not balanced - music too loud top and tail. My 2 cents. <br />MB Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803332332291024365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259264564092241111.post-60947814094307956212013-05-13T21:04:48.957-07:002013-05-13T21:04:48.957-07:00Yes great analysis Ryan.

Perhaps making a series of smaller videos instead of trying to pack everything into one. The host scenes are not good. Poor choice of visuals and the lack of contrast do not help. Too many jump cuts I agree. He also looks tanned in the outdoor shots but not in the intro and extro. These parts feel tagged on after they shot the other footage.<br /><br />JayJay Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395459528072913389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259264564092241111.post-12435306564802338242013-05-12T10:11:16.498-07:002013-05-12T10:11:16.498-07:00Very detailed analysis, and I agree with all of yo...Very detailed analysis, and I agree with all of your comments!<br /><br />I watched your video while using headphones to listen to the audio. I really noticed an echo in the segments when he was speaking in the room and plenty of background noise in the background shot! It's not as noticeable without the headphones - but paying a bit more attention to the audio would have given the video a more professional feel!Faronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681556004094673856noreply@blogger.com
