With my new updated film reel, I wanted to give a sense of fun and make it more comedic. I used Gangster's Paradise for the audio to show that, so I used some funny clips of people walking like gangsters and some other fun clips. I feel that by using these specific clips and audio, it showed my directing and editing skills, for example like showing some of the performances I got out of my actors and how I got some shots in sync with the music. These shots are some of the ones I'm the most proud of like for example the shot of Noah silhouetted against the window, and the one of Joey and Connor at the checkout lane. My editing process was fairly easy, I just looked for clips I liked and dropped them in there and played around to see where each worked best. I changed some things from the last reel, like the music and some of the shots used were rather different mostly because I got new shots. I did reuse some shots and I kept the same font from the previous reel because I liked

The music video I am reviewing is Gangnam Style by PSY. I'm going to be entirely honest with you here, I'm not entirely sure what the story is, I've seen this a hundred times, still no clue, basically it was a ton of random shots that were fun. So I guess you could say, if there was a story, then it was not told very well at all. I can use how he lip synced it so well that you almost couldn't tell it was dubbed over, and I can use the quick editing used in here. I can use my knowledge of being a director to bring out the best performances from my actors. The creator did the lip syncing well, and the editing, especially the editing, the quick cuts were great. He could have told more of a story in my opinion, but that's sort of part of the charm of the video so take that as you will. Overall, it was a fun music video that while being absolutely random, it somehow worked.
