Man what’s the company would love to get hired.

An irl one... Dm me on discord and I'll disclose it. We're not looking for new editors, and if we were, they'd be editing in our studio in London

Hey! I'm going to put this right out there and say while your camera is nice, there is a lot of work that could be done.
While the first song is really dandy, as fits the theme of a wedding and let's go ahead and admit that 70's music is usually pretty good. What is not good is your lack of camera movements, many of the shots are the same and there almost feels like a lack of creativity. Not to mention, I am unsure if going between an unfocused camera and a focused one was intentional, but it did not work. Furthermore, it seems you, the bride and her gals had access to several lighting features, which could've been used for the betterment of everyone involved. I, as a female, take great pride in photographing myself as well as my friends in lights that they're comfortable with (meaning it looks good on them) or at least editing the hues of the photo/video. Let me go ahead and say though the bride was beautiful, your camera action so close to her face gave the entire audience a glance at her pores (which I'll have you know no one wants to remember existed), and the fact her foundation didn't match the color of her neck. Any additions of lighter filters/fake light spots on the camera could have fixed this up a wee bit. That's everything I can name for the first 2 minutes. As for the actual recording of their marriage, cut the scenes of actual happy people! Don't show the videos of people dosing off, replying to someone else, or making odd faces, friendly reminder that it's a wedding. When you record the (hopefully) happily married couple, focus on them, especially the groom, he deserves some camera love too. Everything from here until the actual party is really nice! Awesome job. Some of the next songs, such as the one by Natalie Cole and the song with fancy slapped bass moves, could have more fun, loose transitions. The end with, September, was amazing! It started off great with color light spots, set the mood of a party. However, I did notice a badly cut video where it blacked out and moved to the next scene, so that might be another issue to watch for. September is obviously much faster than some of the tunes earlier, so it would be helpful if you took multiple scenes and played each cut after cut faster.[DOUBLEPOST=1579711667][/DOUBLEPOST]
Also that guy is 11:26 is hooooot (Just sayin')

Thanks so much for taking the time to review my work. As said I didn't film the wedding, that was a different employee, I just edited the film. I'll make sure to pass him your comments and I'll make a v5 revision with your comments!

Great video, and with some few tweaking it will be perfect. Obviously it's form my point of view. I felt like the start was a little too slow for a regular viewer. Also this might be more interesting for the client, all these moments being captured on their big day. Some of the scene cuts seems to sharp, this could be more smoother.
Again great video

just a heads up for the people who don't know. this is NOT a cinematic video. this is in the style of a DOCUMENTARY!!

10k is too much for that, the editing is too simple
