Studies on film and light and colour.

So as i am not as experienced as many editors out there. i decided to look into other people's work. see why are their videos so supported and what makes them hook peopel to watch their video. so first up...

Storm Freerun



Critique: Good song choice, intro connects beautifully. Creative use of animation. to song nicely. I am paying a lot in slowmo as i am planning on using them for my film. and the first slowmo at intro was great. i loved it a lot. however second one just felt off. partially coz his main purpose was to fit to the music his take off and landing of the flip. cut was quick and fast. rarely clips beyong 5 seconds to hook the new generations or watchers who have shorter attention span.amazing character introduction. however i cannot refer too much to this one as it has a totally different mood compared to the video i am picturing in my mind.

oh the freerunning and parkour is great btw. just payign more attention to filming. dont get me wrong im a great fan of this sport.


Danny MacAskill - "Way Back Home"



as usual smoothing music and cutting to music. there are some part which are intentionally lagged cutting to music which somehow made the feelign of watching the film better. however i dont know how it is done. its colour felt more warm and documentry as well. occational dolly and playing with audio makes the video a lot more exciting most of the times. he establish the location and the van arriving before showcasing his skill at that loaction. inspirational video.

Finally since the video i am doing is going to be somewhat like a mv style. i study the best of editing. the koreans. and this song is nice!

Park Jung Min - Not Alone


as usual koreans have amazing camera works. editing as well. they make colours look so natural yet you know its warm. how they did that? well like what i am tryign to do, there is nto much of a story but just a focus of showcase. oh and to add on, if i can chagne myself i will be this guy, he got the looks im seeking, style and voice. woo.



Thats all for research for tonight! Cheers!
