EMMEREK! Some nice shots here at the start. Good close ups. I like the extra effort of making that great post card.
I think the important thing is to get across the idea that your parents are gone -- you certainly don't have to actually read the whole thing out loud - just give us the basic idea "oh, my parents are gone."
VERY awkward cut at :52 second. Why keep that in there? Why not just use a diff shot?
Love the dog. Cute.
Very awkward zoom at 1:07 ... again why not just leave a static shot or cut to a closer shot?
LOVE the fake TV flipping channels. Good added touch. For the charlie brown part, if you're bored watching it, and we keep cutting from you in different spots, you should also cut the audio of charlie brown so it seems like you're watching through different parts of it. Seems unnatural otherwise.
Ending kind of ridiculous here. Too bad you couldn't get an adult to fill in for you on this one! I don't believe another kid coming in like that. Maybe give him a moustach or something? Does Johnny kill the intruder? Where is he going to put the body? Who was that person? So many unanswered questions. Feel like you had trouble getting together a coherant ending for this, but the start was pretty strong. LW this fight.
I give this film a C+
Don't forget to leave reviews for your fellow LWs!
I liked the flipping through the channels.
And the shots where you were switching places on the couch, but I think it would've been better faster.
Uhoh, a robber! Music's really intense. Maybe a little over-the-top, but possibly what you were going for? Some shots have the autofocus switch in and out. Also, the sound effects for the fight are all the same. Try to vary it more when it comes to sound effects.
Music is used well, I like the Charlie Brown Christmas music a lot. Ending is kinda funny, but I don't know if it's realistic that it would be right at that part of the show, if he was still flipping channels during it being played and then went to bed and beat up a robber.
I have to say, I was excited going into this one. Emmerek is my new favorite LW group. Cool snow. Loud humming noise on the ice cream, followed by terrible audio cuts, and poor lighting. What's not to love??? I really don't think you needed to read that whole postcard. It also looked a little messy for a mom to have written it. Your TV has weird static in between channels. Might wanna get that fixed. Hehe. There are some weird jumps going on here. I think maybe something got messed up in the conversion. Does the original do this? Ah...and then the burglar gets his ass pwned! WTG, Jimmy! So, pretty much what I expected. Another fun filled Emmerek movie. There are obviously some serious technical things you guys need to work on, but one really easy thing I would love to see you guys conquer is lighting. Go to Walmart or the hardware store and buy a couple clamp on lights. Even just bringing some extra lamps in the room. Anyways, as always, good show.
Decent camera angles. The Home Alone concept seems familiar...oh...yes...it was used in HOME ALONE!
Oh well...suggestion to improve would be to use some lights next time, but I have to say...best of what i watched. You got my vote!
All i can say is that this is not our best work, I liked the fight scene, that was fun, theres not really much of a conclusion, this is what happens when you procrastinate.
So my first thought of going into this is that ice cream looks discussing. lol. I noticed while you were reading the note from your parents the song overlay is way to loud, I could barely hear you. The TV effect was decent. Little editing glitch, or were you subliminal messaging. Oh shi* someone's getting jacked up. I kinda dont like the sound effects for the fight. LOL did you just beat the shi* outta him then turn on CHarlie Brown. WTF. Im confused. Pretty decent video over all. Good job.
