Film reel

My film reel has stayed almost the exact same as the last one, I just replaced certain shots with clips from my new short film, Blood, furthering the theme of things not going the way you plan with the argument of Jude and Scott in the car.

I am working on a completely new film reel, however, which will focus on relationships between people.

Music Video Analysis



This music video is a story about a group of friends who lose all inhibitions and do anything and everything they want. They raid a gas station, steal a car, rob a pizza place, and dance through the aisles of a convenience store.

All the lighting and camera work lend a homemade do-it-yourself look to the whole video, which I think really fits the style they have.

One aspect I would like to apply to my own work is the amateurish style of the photography. Although it may not look as pretty as an 80D with a 50mm lens on a tripod, it definitely conveys emotion and excitement much better. It gives an almost child-like sense of exhilaration.

Ashlan, the DP, does make use of the 6-shot system, however. There are many close-ups and mediums, as well as one over the shoulder. He could improve with better tracking of subjects.

Overall, I like this music video. It's fun, upbeat and carefree.
