I'm nearly finished with my cinematography reel. Thought I'd throw it through ns before finalizing it and see what kind of response I got.This was all mostly shot with a Sony HVR-V1U which films interlaced HDV, which isn't the best qualit, and mind you, this is my first attempt at a demo reel. That being said, please critique my cinematography reel

give it to me straight

Pretty good I thought. I thought the ending could have been stronger. I would not use the shots of the people looking at a screen seem a bit weird and did not show much creatively. I also would not use all those ski shots most of the jump at night were not lit well and were quite flat. But overall with a little tweaking that could be good. I was not a fan of the oversaturated colours but that is personal preference.
 
I liked how you matched up the guitarist's shots with the must and kept cutting back to that throughout the reel. I personally like reels where you change from one subject to another, so you could do all your skiing for like 30 seconds and then change to nature, and then music videos, and then whatever else, but that's a matter of opinion

I liked most of your shots to be honest (not that I'm really an expert, but I thought they looked good). The only other thing was I thought your titling could use some improving, but other than that good job
 
Thanks guys! +++++K

I Definitely did over-saturate some of those shots, and I'm considering taking out some of the night ski shots. Thanks again for the critique fellas.
