First offense: Black and white except for one color.

That's a huge cliche for bad student films, but I haven't seen many shitty shorts that are black and white. Most of the time they just don't bother with grading it at all and hope their special snowflake shots of sunlight filtering through trees makes up for it.

Fuck yourself with a rake.

this shot made it worthwhile

>>87588834
That was one of the shots I was most proud of. In fact, considering all the light we had was either natural or from a single flashlight one of the dudes brought it's a miracle most of the shots turned out as well as they did.

Making this thread I wasn't aware of how hard it was to actually find bad shorts if you're not already aware of them, since most people don't like admitting their shorts are bad.

I'll just post my latest, which was shot on a whim with an iPhone 7 and a selfie stick, then be on my way. Please, rip it apart so I know what I can do better.

Why do people release shit like this? I can understand the lighting and other aspects that one learns to do better with practice but whats with the shitty audio gaps.

Why was the 1:56 audible "camera" left in? Okay so it was for a class ran out of time to edit it, but why would you post that version on YT? Why not just edit it out and work on the other aspects like the sound design before sharing it?

Is it laziness? It can't be pure incompetence because again, how do you look at that work and say "yeah that's fine I don't need to fix it before sharing my work"

>>87588229
>only three minutes long
That's it? That's all they expect out of you in college classes nowadays?

>>87590094
Originally that was supposed to just be a rough cut and I was gonna fix up the sound later, but then I got lazy. Plus, I attempted bringing people in for ADR for the first time and it literally made me fucking cry.

Thank you though, I appreciate that.

>>87590150
It was a "digital storytelling" class, meaning they just wanted you to prove you could develop a story from beginning to end then make something out of it.

>>87590190
What was so hard about the ADR?

That video has no redeeming qualities; there isn't really any ground for improvements to be made.

>>87590367
I didn't slate properly, or have even close to the right equipment, actors couldn't hear their lines to properly dub over them, and this fat girl kept bothering us while we were working. Really just a combination of incredibly poor decisions.

>>87590384
Automated Dialogue Replacement, dubbing over your lines because the on-board mics on cameras are universally trash.

>no redeeming qualities
Alright list the bad ones then

Gimme something to work with, damn.

>You're a non-european and a non-jew.
>You not only went through the trouble of cobbling together this worthless footage, but also had the idotic idea of posting it on 4chan. Based on that, I would assume you have very low self awareness if any at all, which imo is the most important aspect of doing anything creative i.e. being able to naturally tell when something's shit or when something's good and worth sharing.
The time you spend dreaming up a film career without any discernable talent is time you should be spending on concrete self improvement.

>>87590950
>lengthlet
Incredible.

>>87591058
Attack the video, not me.

You're actually completely correct though.

I post all my shit on 4chan because I want to track my own progress and build as a filmmaker by learning what I'm doing wrong as I go. Critique is healthy, and I thrive off it.

This one builds suspense and has decent low budget cinematography but blows it at the end with an abrupt and random yet still cliche twist.

>>87591351
They actually did some pretty clever stuff in there. The twist at the end was retarded, yeah, and the wide shot of her and the van was annoyingly out of focus, but I dug how they did phones in this.

>>87591510
Not even joking those opening credits (pretentious as they are) are aesthetic as all hell.

What? It's good to have people tell you what's bad about your work.

THe only people who shun critique tend to be butthurt tards, who have significant overlap with sjws.
