gotta be honest, as an ex pro muso and having been to music college, i hated every second of this movie, i thought it was utter blx. who conducts a drum solo, ffs? rubbish, from start to finish.
Unbelievable video essay; clear, concise, captivating and informative. Cannot believe you only have 269 (now 270) subscribers. Truth be told I utterly adore 'Whiplash', but nonetheless you did a magnificent job, my man. Please keep at it, and much love from the Netherlands.
disclaimer: i initially made this for a school holiday homework project. I would love feedback for this video essay for the future if possible, I know there are a lot of inaccuracies with the script. Cheers
I totally agree that because it centres more around Neiman and Fletcher it’s more of a boot camp story. But despite that I still found it really enjoyable.
Whiplash also keeps alot of shots from short film, mostly views of the page and few extras playing intruments, but tinted orange to fit with the colourscheme of the new footage.
I'm not sure you supported the color argument sufficiently. I'm sure it's there as it makes sense compositionally and I have no background in film analysis, but you only included two scenes as green evidence
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, there were more in terms of colour that I missed and covered very briefly, such as the choices of costume, etc. This was a student-practice video essay, so I'm really just using this for feedback for school assessments.
