Any one got any constructive criticism for me? Im trying to improve my music video making skills and your thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks

I was kinda thinking the song is to long?
And maybe the lighting is to much making unwanted shadows?
Also is it just me or does the video look a little squeezed or something?
These are only small issues of course.

I must say I'm here to learn more about using my new software Corel VideoStudio Pro X6 so it is a bit of a surprise to be asked to critique a music video but I guess it fits the category. So OK a couple of thoughts:

1.Nice to see the artist and changing the view and going from color to B&W helps but it can get old very quickly...
2 How about bringing in images or short videos that are tied to the lyrics? More work I know but it would provide more interest.
3 Shooting in a corner of a plain room makes you look very isolated and seeing your shadow directly behind adds to the small room isolated feeling.
4. It was, however, well lighted and the cuts and pans where well done. The song was enjoyable to hear.

All of the above is just my $0.02 so not worth much.....

Hey Bob, thanks for that much appreciated!
Yes some really good points there, i was thinking it gets a little repetitive toward the end!!
Indeed the location could have been a lot better too.
Thanks again for commenting!

For anyone who enjoyed the song here are the lyrics

Tonight by Chris Keys

V.1 When will you see
what you mean to me
listen to your heart
and walk on out, from the dark.
HHHHHHHMMMMM -----------
what must i do
to make it clear to you
love is all we need
so please oh please, wait for me.

C.1 And the day will turn into the night
with you by my side to hold
and the moon beams down
over our little town
it feels so right, tonight ----------
Oh -- Oh ---------- Oh -- Oh ------------ Oh -- Oh

V.2 How can i try
to keep you on my side
believe in all you dream
and meet me somewhere in between.
HHHHHHHMMMMM -----------
One of these days
we might find our way
two lost and lonely minds
oh please oh please, oh be mine.

C.2 Repeat C.1 with 4th line:
It shines so bright, tonight -----------
Oh -- Oh ---------- Oh -- Oh ------------ Oh -- Oh
2x Oh -- Oh ---------- Oh -- Oh ------------ Oh -- Oh
