Newfoundland-Check/Critique

certainly not bad, but I think it could be better. the shots were mostly pretty well done and the music was fun. among others, I really liked the clip at 1:00!

after a second watch it became more apparent that you put more time into choosing where to place your shots than I had originally thought, so that's cool--I like how the shot of the trail sign matches with the lyrics about following someone, and then leads into shots from the top of the mountain (~1:00).

my main critique is the ending--it kinda goes from a nice build up and I'm groovin' and enjoying it and there's sweet mountains and ocean and whales n stuff and then it's like we run out of gas and slow to a halt and haven't really reached our destination haha.

I haven't heard that song before, but I think if you work with what the song has to offer, you could close it better--it's pretty fun and upbeat so you could cut it off more succinctly, rather than fading it out, and really leave the viewer on a high note. basically, give the ending a feeling of finality, of completion, and you'll have greatly improved. just some simple ending credits of sort might even help, as a start.

don't forget that the beginning pulls us in and the ending keeps us coming back.

hope that helps!
 
This is pretty much spot on.

Some intro would've been nice, even if very small.

Song was a very good choice, I enjoyed it a lot.

What kind of color techniques did you use, if any?
 
thanks man.

i used magic bullet looks. shot flat then just started with curves and a 3-way. I pushed like a blue/green tint since in almost every shot there was water/sky/trees. Really just basic stuff, I'm no expert so I'm not going to be throwing on crazy post filters when I don't know their purpose
 
Ya man I liked it. It had a very nonchalant style to it which was cool. I dont know much about colours etc, so I shouldnt comment on that, but they seemed fine.
