I have just finished my showreel and it would be amazing if you all can have a look and tell me what you all think :) So please watch, share, like, re-post on your Facebook's and help this showreel get from nowhere to somewhere #SupportTheCause https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Yl_GYkZAQ
Hey Devauna, I would first off put just your name in big letters first for at least 3 seconds, i missed your name in the first few seconds, then have a new screen with just your contact info. You don't need the shots at the beginning of the pushups and eating chips and walking. Go straight into one of your clips. It's weird because I can see you have a good look and definitely talent but you are approach to the work is a bit off, no offense! I know this is about your reel and not your acting and I'm not the god of acting or anything, but it did seem like on a couple of your clips you are playing the emotion of the scene not the situation, I think you will go much further if you can play the situation 100% truthful. For example the scene where you were told your mother was killed, it was clear that in your head you thought I've got to be devastated here, rather than actually believing the situation was real and having whatever emotional response came natural - EVEN if it was understated. Otherwise you can hit false notes. anyway good luck man!
Your opening head shot looks stretched wide. You should correct that distortion anywhere it appears, but especially there. (I played with my screen to see if it was something on the viewing end, but it didn't seem to affect it.)
