This is a normal post Thank you!
I appreciate the input! I'm still learning so I'm grateful for the advice.

in my defence I didn't have much footage to play with, as I had my daughter there with me so didn't get as much as I'd have liked. I actually had this video half done for months and pretty much gave up on it (Hence it being winter in the video). but though fuck it, might as well try get a short video out of it.

I'll try to take on board your suggestions for my next video!

EDIT: Can I get your thoughts on the colouring? It was such a dull fucking day I really struggled to get any colour other than gray, and as i'd been staring at the video so long i can't actually tell if i managed to make it work or not.

This is a normal post I'm not that strong on my knowledge colouring profiles
for my work I have a few presets that I spent a lot of time googling at the time but have mostly forgotten what I did. In general, small tweaks are fine to get a bit more warmth, but if you want to make a shitty day look like a sunny one you're going to get a noticeably artificial look to it. this can be fine, plenty of music and surf videos crank it up to alice in wonderland trippiness. But it's a choice, and to me showing the beach on a windswept choppy day has a stark beauty to it, and not exactly out of the ordinary for wales. embrace the natural palette of colours

Another suggestion is the striptease. Don't open your coat and show them everything straight away. You could start with a tracking shot pointing straight down showing nothing but moving sand, or the waterline. Pique their interest. "What am I looking at? Where am I?" and then gradually build to the majestic wide shots, the final reveal and climax. It all learning, and thinking about the edit will inform the next time you film, what shots you go for

This is a normal post Also think about when you want to show the helicopter and bridge.
You don’t want the audience to know it’s real until the end.

You'd have to film yourself inventing the time machine as well.

This is a normal post And where on the high street can you get flux capacitors now they've gone...?
(Although theirs were packaged in a blister pack and grossly overpriced ...)
