Video Critique

Zenebou and Harriet's film, Our Green Environment had a very strong and interesting message. The content that if there is not environment then there is no life because we depend on the environment for many different things, was clear and present throughout most of the film. The transition from the nature shots of trees and birds to paper products and other products made by trees was a little shaky and hard to follow; such an abrupt change left the audience lost and confused, it was only through more images of paper and wood, did I then understand what the film was trying to say. If they were to continue working on this film they could cut out some of the images toward the end of the film, including the shots of soap products and the vending machine filled with chips. This distracted from the main message of the film. Also at the beginning of the film some of the images of the trees, we extremely short and cut out to the next image rather quickly. But as the first part of the film played out, there were very short clips of the trees and then long more peacefully images. It would have enhanced the video if the tree/ nature section had longer clips and wasn't so fast and choppy; transitions would also help to achieve that as well.
