This is my first attempt at a Product Review type of video.  I purchased this bag in the middle of the afternoon in San Francisco and had carried with me everything I intended to use it to carry.  I then spent the whole day traveling around the city carrying this bag in different ways.  Gave me a great chance to test it out and then share what I learned.

There are a lot of things I dont like about this video that I hope I can improve on the next one.

  • The whitebalance doesn't seem right
  • The framing is bad
    • there was a take 1 with better framing, but the focus lock wasn't on so it had to be scrapped,  then after adjusting the focus again I didn't see the that the bag had ended up lower in the frame.   The iphone was mounted above head height to give a good angle to see into the bag, but this left me with no monitor of what i was recording
  • The audio is inconsistent and too quite on the whole.
    • because I was so far from the iphone and moving around I couldn't use the headphone mic I used before.  I will have to find another solution before my next video.
  • It is very long
    • my first take wasn't as organized,  in this one I tried to divide my comments into three sections (features,changes,complaints) and stay short and to the point.  but even still there was a lot of moving the bag around to get the part I wanted to show.  5 minutes is just too long,   I will aim for 3 for my next product review video.
