I'm the fat ugly kid with the mole, before anyone mentions.
We thought we'd give this a try having been inspired by a lot of sketch shows and stuff.
Sorry for the shameless self-advertisement but we'd love some views, subscribers (if you like it, of course) and feedback.
We know we're not incredible, I'd just like to see what my fellow Facepunchers think :)
P.S. We have outtakes and stuff on this channel if you think the rest of it is shit, aha.
P.P.S. Don't be too harsh, I love you guys.
Kind of boring to be honest, but it's not bad, also you seem to have been inspired by Jake and Amir

Much appreciated :)
Ahah, we do love ourselves a bit of J&A!
I think you would do well to invest in some better audio equipment before anything else and maybe have some of the characters doing something rather than simply sitting there watching the TV (such as eating, texting, cooking dinner etc) as they talk just make it a bit more visually appealing.
I've subscribed to you on YouTube, just keep pumping out videos and you will naturally get better.
Good luck!
You could try changing the camera angles during dialogue, that would make it alot more interesting.

Yeah, we're hoping to get directional microphones, boom mics tend to be a pain in smaller spaces. Just gotta get the money together first.
Thank you for the feedback and the subscription! I just watched your short film 'The Shepherd' and it's brilliant!

We've tried that but we can't seem to get a natural feel to any 3/4 angle.
Do you have any suggestions for the practicality of it too? I'd assume a pause between lines for the camera to pan to each character, right?
Thank you for the feedback! :)

Thank you!
Some other things you might want to try during some dialog scenes where they are playing video games is have them in different locations talking and playing games over the internet, that way you could show the characters in split screen (which is visually a lot more interesting) and also have them wearing headsets and record the audio via the microphone on the headset.
Consider filming during the day rather than at night and film next to a window, that way you can get a lot of natural light to light up your frame and reduce some of the image grain and just light up the scene a bit more.
Do a quick YouTube search, on White Balance and Room Tone, that also couldn't hurt your production.
Another thing I would recommend is bringing the camera down to the subjects eye level unless there is a purpose for a high or low angle having the camera at eye level is a generally good rule of thumb.
Hope that helps. :)

Thank you very much SuckerPunch! :) We really appreciate all the feedback.
We've made another video, hopefully this one is more to your liking! Let me know :)
