You did a good job portraying all the work that needs to be done in college, but i feel like the fact that you used a hand held camera took away from that a little. I think that if you had used a tripod, the steady camera and more controlled movements could have helped get your point across more.
I liked your video. I wish there was a little bit more sound though. I thought you camera angles were interesting though and you had a cool start. You showed that a lot of work goes on in your living space.
I really liked the way that your video started out. "A Day in the life of a college student" I can just imagining waking up in the morning, getting ready. I was expecting the video to be more sequential: then I got breakfast, went to class, studied, etc. Along the way something happens, but the rest of your video was of people studying. The message was a little confusing to me.
I think you portrayed all the work to do effectively, but should have introduced this earlier instead of spending all the time showing the person wake up. It would have been nice if we hadn't seen the lens cover at the start; I think it may have been better if you had faded from black and brought the scene into focus as a way to show "waking up." Also, the scrolling text really killed the feeling of being "in the film," if you will.
Well that pretty much sums it up, tons of work with a little socializing. I like how u didn't just focus on yourself and showed other people who shared the same basic living space. Very effective.
Overall pretty good, though it started to feel like the same point was being performed over and over again. I'm also slightly confused about the seemingly random people that show up once in a while... though I think with more context they might fit in? You definitely conveyed your goal of things being a lot of work.
Some of the cuts did not feel very natural, but most did have a smooth transition of movement. I also think that it might have gotten a better feeling of a lot of work if the scenes were more rapidly cut and they just showed you working. I think it would have been better without the shaking of the camera.
I don't really see the point to the waking up and sleeping scenes. If its supposed to be about how much work there is a flashy montage would be good of a lot more people working. Also, seeing Facebook on someones computer doesn't make me think work. Otherwise it was pretty good the cuts were good and seemed natural.
Haha, you definitely got the point across that there is way too much work, always. Also liked the beginning scene of waking up and taking the lens cap off the camera. However, I felt that it was a bit repetitive. Maybe next time try some different angles so you can still get the point across without showing the exact same thing over and over again.
I agree that the shots are a bit lengthy, but also all the shots are consisting of the same thing (studying) and there isnt anything wrong with that, its just that they were all from the same angel. Also you started off by showing yourself waking up and ended with you going to sleep, but what about the other people in the vid?
I agree, the pace was a little slow. Shorter clips and more cuts make for a more interesting video if there isnt something to grab the watcher's attention in the scene.
However, the point was definitely gotten across that there is FAR too much work to be done.
Nice. You definably expressed the fact that there is always work to be done. My only comment is that some of the clips seem to run longer than they need too. They probably could have been shortened down a bit.
