Video Portrait Project Revision

After careful consideration of the final cut, the three main things I changed were as follows. I took out the fairy spot dust in every shot. I chose to include this effect in the first and final shot. Secondly I lowered the volume of the instrumental. My thought behind this is, the feedback received said the beat seemed to not fit. While I didn't agree with this assessment I did decide the volume being too high might cause this concern. Lastly I shortened a few of the clips to get within the one minute time frame. The first cut was 2 seconds over in length.

Aaron Collins Self Portrait Peer Review

To follow the theme of your fact paced hectic lifestyle here is my review for your video in two paragraphs!
I really enjoyed your music. The instrumental really dictated the hectic frenzy you were trying to convey. With that being said, I would suggest using more camera angles. I understand this would require you to reshoot the whole video as well as re-edit. With time constraints and us coming to the end in the class I know this is close to impossible but just a suggestion for future projects. I feel like your video would have been very fun to watch had the video made quick cuts to different angles. Also I would suggest at the end maybe giving  a grin or some kind of face to express how exhausted you are from the fact paced lifestyle. 
I liked how you managed to speed the clips in the beginning. I thought the editing of those first few clips were executed very well. Overall I enjoyed your video and really look forward to seeing your final revision. Great work sir!
