Maria - University of Charleston
I put this short little video together to help international students feel comfortable coming to our university. It is a story about a girl from Mexico coming here while knowing almost no English .
Constructive criticism welcomed |
Re: Maria - University of Charleston
You crossed the line with your second camera in the interview setup, and it looks really odd.
I wouldn't have shown her in slow motion about to shove a fry in her mouth. Also, why so much headroom in that shot? There's nothing interesting back there. |

What do you mean, "crossed the line?"

Re: Maria - University of Charleston
Crossed the 90 degree axis? I didn't notice it.
The "french fry" thing is such a quick shot that I think it's no big deal. Hope you get some traction out of this piece. |

Your main shot has the interviewee looking towards camera left. Your second camera angle on slider has her looking camera right. I would have demonstrated with screencaps, but I cannot add attachments for some reason. Also, the two cameras don't match color-wise. |
Re: Maria - University of Charleston
The 180 rule Gary refers to is also a staple of sports broadcasting, such that the viewer can orient themselves to the direction of play on the field. That view is only broken with reverse angle shots or instant replay but is labeled as such while being shown. The main cameras following the action will always be from the same side of the field, however.
It’s really all about giving the viewer a point of reference as to what is right and left. Regards, -gb- |
Re: Maria - University of Charleston
I thought it was nicely assembled. Not a fan of multiple angles for interviews but in this case it wasn't overbearing.
Seems there are many good videos that aren't getting seen and when I watched this one it only had 126 views and probably most came from this site. If anyone knows an internet wizard who can increase distribution I'd like to meet them. |

Yea I struggled matching the two cameras. One camera is a GH5 and the other is a 5DMarkIV. I tried shooting really really flat on the GH5 this time and I struggled to get it to look similar to the 5D. Maybe next time. |

When I had my GH5, I would try to match it to my C300 Mark II. This required hue transforms, especially in reds and oranges. That's the starting place. |
Re: Maria - University of Charleston
While I don't shoot in VLOG, this was my first video shooting in HLG and it was a bit rough to grade. I'm not the best colorist in the world, so since then I've just gone back to shooting cineliked.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'd love to have a C300. One day! |
