I'm Rich

SJ's video is a really good example of a humorous parody that I was asking for in the directions. Here are the Pros & Cons that you can use to learn from his.

Pros

    • Really like the autotunes chorus and it is a catchy song
    • The opening of the video is good quality video but his face is dark
    • Really good transition effects with Premiere
    • Good angles used appropriately (dutch, over the shoulder)
    • Like the clothes he used, very appropriate
    • Great choice of locations
    • Like the changing color effect at 1:50

Cons

    • Shaky camera at times
    • 1:15 actor is suppose to look poor but does not!
    • Lip sync was not always perfectly synced and believable
    • Missing closing titles
    • Weather was gloomy in the background
    • Too dark at times indoors at night
    • Not the best ending (dark and poor composition/angle)
    • It was funny but could have been funnier
