A God in Distress - shot in Mark IV

It looks like it has been horizontally compressed. Did you film it in 16:9 and output it as 4:3? I also would have liked to see you get more angles, some closeups to keep it interesting. Otherwise you can't go wrong with elephants, magnificent creatures. Given the agenda with which you are making the film you should focus more on the problematic encounters (elephants disrupting traffic, impatient motorists stressing them). To put it in a story format you would show the elephants in a happy environment, then switch to the conflict, then resolve the situation or deliver the message depending on what the particular video is to show. I like what you are trying to do (both with the video and your wider project). It's a great subject matter as a videographer too.
 
Hi Egg Born Son,
Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Since this is the first time I am editing myself, I am yet to come to know the techniques. I have shot in 1080p so 16:9. Will incorporate your suggestions and will share later. Since I am filming alone, multiple angles is difficult especially of these conflict scenes. However, I agree that another perspective will also help in strengthening it.

Cheers,
