This is a home video I shot with my friend. She is the actress in it and I am the cameraman/editor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5iOF90p600 I never had experience shooting a film and producing it so go easy on this one
It was pretty good but what kinda ruined it was what "Karina" said at the last 6 seconds which I didn't hear properly and it was in a different tone to the other 46 seconds of the commercial, if you changed that it would be alot better so overall pretty good
I personally found the assertions of the video itself rather sickening, but I do understand that this is a school project so yeah. But the video itself wasn't bad. The music fitted well and the video was paced right to match it. The no nonsense font and cuts made the points clearly and effectively, and the camera shots did the job great. I would say that it might be worth slowing down a little of the action, with slower music like this and an emotional subject it can increase the effectiveness of the piece. The end seemed a little out of place, fading from melancholy in to a sense of promise at the end with the affirmative shot is great, but the cut off of the music and introduction of background audio kinda negated the flow a little I felt, either end it on the sadder note to make the point, or try and bring some sense of promise at the end with a suitable change in accompanying audio. Acting in the scenes with both people could do with a bit more oomph (a longer and more shocked looking pause at the car window would increase the effectiveness of that shot a lot imo), but as for your end of things I think it's pretty good. Camera work could be a bit steadier, but as you say it's your first time doing such a thing and I doubt you have that much opportunity to ask for extravagant tripods etc.

Nice double post pegasis lolol The video is pretty offensive. She lost all her friends because she caught HIV? Thats the message I got. Lots of people live with it and lead normal lives. Point out that you can catch HIV from used needles and die, not that you can catch HIV and become a shunned outcast excluded by society because of it.
I know the end was weird, my teacher told us to make a poster and present it in the video. And about the HIV no friends thing; that is not the message, sorry for the confusion. Yes the camera was shaky, sorry about that; it was real windy and we had no tripod :X Too bad I cannot make all the wonderful fixes you guys offered because we had less than a week to do this and it is due tomorrow.
Closer shots along with a mute video other than the piano music would have been better. However, I still get the message clearly from this.
was it just me or did the video has a blurryness in the bottom, espicially the bottom left? oh and the last part was too happy in my opinion, maybe have her redo it with a little more sullen attitude.
