Produced, Directed and edited my first music video. Need some critique. Thanks in advance.

 
Couple things... 

Wrong forum... This belongs in music.

30 seconds in and I was getting a headache from all the in focus - out of focus - in focus - out of focus constantly.
 
I see. Can you post a link to a video you like without that....and my bad about the wrong forum. Can a mod move this please.

Alright, I got alot of crticism but it's constructive.

If it's your first video then you did a good job with the beat and you flow's....but I wish you guys coulda went harder with the lyrics....throw in some real quotable lines....things about chicago...yadda yadda.

The video quality I feel was great but if your gonna make a "southside chi-town" video you coulda thrown in some black and white shots more often, and some parts of the video coulda been cut....the outside of the church could just been you entering the big doors of the church and walking down the aisle for instance.

I felt you could done more with the video. You gotta make a good first impression....more nun-hookers, posting up by someones nice ferrari/lambo/maserati, coulda rapped near some murals or graffiti.

Of course this is just from my perspective. If being a Chi-town rapper is your thing you should look at other rappers from your city and how they do their videos and ask yourself if you want to make something similar (i.e. lil durk) or different (i.e. Lupe).

Thanks for the input makes a lot of sense.  We didn't really try and look like any other rappers. But it's definately a good idea if we compare ourselves to them because whether we like it or not...there will be comparison.
 
You overdid it with the in-out of focus thing, you can use it, but you overdid it bruh.

If i didn't know what 773 was I would not have guessed you were a rapper from Chicago honestly.

Compared to the beat and the flow the video seems "chill"

When your man, the white guy, was rapping and you had the two females twerking upside down, It would have looked better if they were closer to him and the shot was tighter.

Also if it's one person in a shot either a close up, or a wide shot, no medium shots

I'll watch it again and see if there is anything else I can point out. PM me if you have any questions
