First Cinematic Video Edit

[bartoszwozniak]

Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a while but here goes!

I took a trip to a lake in Brittany with my fiancé a few days ago and wanted to use this opportunity to take some photographs but also practice my videography. The weather was dull and the place looked extremely desolate so I decided to go with an 'apocalyptic' feel of the video and created a short, cinematic edit in Final Cut Pro.

I am looking for way to improve as I am still a beginner in terms of video so I would love some comments on this piece.

I used my Canon 6D, GoPro 5 Black and DJI Phantom 3 Advanced drone for the footage and like I mentioned FCP for editing.

Very nice but I'm not too sure about the speed-up's in the last clip. Quite distracting and IMO they do nothing for the scene being filmed.

Thank you for your comment!

I like the edit, I think some of the black pauses go on for a little too long though.

Yeah I've had that feedback from a couple of people now - thank you! I've taken note of it. Glad you like it though!
