This is my first go at a music video and about the 5th time Ive ever filmed anything, so still a newbie even though ive owned a camera over a year, actually finding the time to learn and use it is somewhat difficult, anyway directed and edited by me, it was hard work as am a one man band, but i enjoyed it. I know made tons mistakes but ill get there eventually, music video is of my friend K.A.D who let me have a go filming and directing it, camera was 7d and this was the first thing I shot with it... well this and my cat Mr Woo are the only things ive shot with it so far lol. let me know what you think, cheers

Cool stuff man. There were a couple shots that looked a bit blown out in the beginning but you managed to bring some of it down with color correction. I like how in the outdoor shot at 0:11 the pink outfit really popped nicely to me (even though the rest was blown out). Some nice sharp shots here and there. I like the look of the shots of the guy in his living room on his laptop and of course the car shots. Nice work.

P.S. What lenses were you using?
 
thanks mate, yeh the beginning shots were a nightmare to edit, think I kept playing around with the iso and aperture and ended up getting really bright shots, especially when she walks in I had to colour the sky to aid bringing the shots brightness down a little as it was so over bright. Iso and aperture are all new to me and I should of played with it a bit more before filming this. Im use to just filming in auto mode lol.

Lenses used:
Canon 17-55mm f2.8
Canon 85mm f1.8
Sigma 30mm F1.4

used a standard Rode camera mic for sound, wanted to test the h4n with rode xlr input, but there was no way I could of operated the camera and directed and record an external sound boom by myself.
 
Cool man. Yeah, in general, I've found that without an ND filter to lessen the amount of light entering the lens, you have to first lower the ISO as low as it can go (50/100) and then, depending on how much depth of field you want, either crank up the shutter speed and keep the aperture wide (less than f/8) or lower the shutter speed and narrow the aperture.


Great stuff again man!
