OTHER: Cinematography test

[epicturez]

Some guy with a gun fires a few rounds. Made to try and push image quality.
Filmed on a Canon 60D. Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.

Watch it here:

Any tips or suggestions are highly appreciated! We are trying to develop as filmmakers. That's what this place is for, right?

The actual camera work is fine, though it can be hard to tell when something is so disconnected and short. Therefore it's hard for me to comment on the "cinematography".

What I can comment on, is everything else. The biggest issues I have with the piece are the actor and the sound design. The actor's face doesn't reveal anything during his closeup (maybe you weren't going for anything since it was just a "test"). For the sound design, I felt that the gun sound was on the weak side. I would have liked some more kick in it.

There also needs to be more visual 'kick' when the gun blasts are seen, at least a little rocking back... otherwise it looks like the guy just holding the gun.
