Thank you all for your help!

Hello,

I'm fairly new to the filmmaking industry so I would really appreciate if anyone can help me solve my confusion!!

I had a question about matching the video specs for a digital billboard. I need to get a 15 second commercial spot into a digital billboard in my local town and their specs to meet are as follows:

Composition Size: High Definition (HD) 432 x 252

Color Mode: RGB

Resolution: 72 dpi - 300 dpi

Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square

Recommended Static File Format: JPEG

Other Acceptable Static Formats: BMP, GIF/GIFF, PNG

Recommended Animated File Format: AVI (compressed with XVID)

Other Acceptable Animated Formats: SWF (Versions 6 through 9), MOV (compressed with H.264)

Video Frame Rate: 30 fps

Video Color Depth: 24 bit RGB

Video Bit Rate: +9000

Here are my questions:

1) What is composition size?

2) Are there any of these specs I MUST consider before shooting? For example, it shows Video Frame Rate is 30fps. Must I film at 30 fps?

3) What is Video Bit Rate?

4) Can I match these specs in Final Cut Pro X when exporting?

5) I am filming with a GH5s. Is this camera compatible with these specs?

I am embarrassed to say that I am extremely clueless to these things. I am really hoping I can gain some insight from you guys. Thank you!

Hello guys,

I just recently made an underwater commercial for a dive company. I would appreciate it if you can give me your feedback. Thanks!

Here's the link to the video.

Yeah I wasn't getting that via the things on screen. It might be because the concept of "loving cafes" isn't a commonly discussed thing, so dialogue could be needed to establish what everything is pertaining to.

 

If you need to stay visual, the transitions on screen don't exactly imply the fireworks are happening within the character's head. After a second look I see you masked in the fireworks footage into the pupils, but this hint is too subtle and also thrown off when it cuts over to daytime shot taking its time to transition back over to the fireworks. The audience will view that as a time lapse unrelated to the character's mind.

 

See what you can do in the editing bay with that info, a lot of times the hardest part is understanding how the brains of the masses function.

I see. Thank you for your input. It means a lot!!

I think it is pretty good. (But I am not a commercial photog, only do documentary work.) It looks professional except for some color glitch that popped up for a second. Looked like a commercial for a hotel with product placements for the credit card and coffee. Good work!

Thank you for your feedback! :)

The idea is how a person can go to a cafe, work on their craft for hours and hours, from day to night getting things done. The fireworks is an analogy for creativity and cafe is an analogy for a persons creative workspace.

Yes dialog was allowed. Do you think it would've communicated the story a lot better if I included dialog?

Hi guys I'm new to this forum and am very excited to join. I recently got into videography and storytelling and I created this video about our love for cafes. I would appreciate any feedback. I am a beginner and eager to learn more. Here's a link to the video.
