[Robert Wielomski]

Looking for feedback!

short story I recently shot on my GH4 with a 12-35mm lumix lens. Staring Ken Goodyear and Ben Goodyear. It was an experiential idea which turned out to being finished!

Camera Used:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 With Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 Asph.

Some interesting locations and shots. There's also a lot of room for improvement.

-The aerial footage is jittery, and I'm pretty sure not shot with the GH4. If you use another camera, why not be fair to the manufacturers and say so?
-What is an experiential idea? Do you mean experimental? I know this seems nitpicky, but good filmmaking means attention to detail. Do you want people to take you seriously or not?
-When you set up the POV shot of the letter carrier, you imply that this character is important to the film--even perhaps that he is the main character. He is not. He is incidental to the story.
-A good editor goes a long way in making the actors look good. Here you have (almost) no dialogue and still the acting looks false. This indicates sloppy editing. The shot of the letter being handed over, for one, is wooden and slow.
-Shifting focus and attention can create a dynamic shot. But it should shift from one interesting thing to another. How is the nub of the arm of the chair an interesting element to start a shot with?
-The handheld moves look floaty and accidental, rather than precise and considered.

Just my opinions. Keep shooting, thanks for sharing.
