Good Work! My thoughts, for what they are worth. About 30 secs in, the scene with the graves close up, he should've walked across the back, rather than right upon the camera.
The onions was funny, but didn't help me get to know him!
Why did he leave all the stuff there? That is just littering!!
We initially had a line that explained his leaving it there but when we cut dialogue in general we kept it in as a timesaver and maybe an implication that he plans to come back soon.
I plan to make more videos as time allows. And the quality (due to compression) is crappy but this is my first project shot on my awesome new camera so future projects will be compressed at, and will show, a higher visual quality I hope.
I will applaud your film camera techniques and editing .... You put together a fine clip. That took some study and experience.
BUT
Is a random viewer going to be drawn into this story seed and want to watch MORE of this weird (maybe a little creepy) character? I don't think so .... Especially if I had to pay $8 to do so ....
I'm a "random viewer" and I was intrigued. I want to know who the character is and why he does what he does. Call me a twisted individual, but I liked it :P
Also, what was/were the song(s)? I really liked it/them! (couldn't tell if it was the same one or not haha)
i feel like you were mainly trying to tell us about the character through the music rather than the shots. that might have been the intention, but maybe you should focus on the importance of each visual shot. i know it isn't common with life action, but i think you should try storyboarding your scene more
I think that just means (at the very least for you) that I was unsuccessful. Because half the shots were storyboarded and almost all of them had some psychological/emotional significance (i.e. pushing the character off into the corner, triumphant low angle at the end; distant, detatched shots at the beginning, etc.)
So if they didn't feel planned then that's just me being unsuccessful at framing the shots the best way.
love the music
