Thanks I totally agree. I did some of this at uni, but the thing is when editing this sort of stuff never enters my head and I put a lot of it together on intuition and have never had any complaints whatsoever.

Hi

No I agree, if you dont cut to the point no one would ever progress!

Thanks again, its obvious ive still got a lot to learn but this has been helpful. Im going to go back to the drawing board and read a lot more on storytelling and editing for a couple of months, and then ill re do the reel and come back again for feedback. Thanks for the excellent advice, its been very straight to the point but immensely helpful!

[Jon Fidler]

I think the thing ive really taken away from the advice, is to make new reels which are appropriate to the story and clients and take all of my personality out of it, or just the weirdness of it.

Thanks for the no nonsense advice guys. This is all extremely helpful to me.

Thanks Andrew

When ive got the time ill sit down and cut a few different reels together. Thats a great idea as i wanted to show I was proficient in all styles but if I do it that way its even better! When you say multiple edits, should I just put a few clips together, so its not so flash but its more to do with showing my work.

I also have 90% of this online too, the finished versions, so I send potential jobs (I only work for free at the moment, im more an apprentice who gets jobs on Mandy), and it seems to work. But if clips is the way to go, ill get on the case with it.

[Jon Fidler]

What does that mean, any ideas on how to improve it?

I know its similar territory but what about all these allegorical readings you read on the net e.g how Inception is a metaphor for filmmaking?

Im assuming this is all in the realm of personal interpretation and there is nothing of any real use apart from entertainment in any of that stuff.
