-Extend the beggining of the first shot. start with black with the music playing and fade it in.
-Cut the first shot a few seconds before, as soon as it comes back into full view at the bottom of the hill.
-Fade in and out between the shots when you dissapear then return. it will cover the cut and help give the impression of a time change.
- Shorten the handle bars shot
-shorten the next drive by shot at the start and cut as soon as you go off frame.
- same with the next shot, make it alot shorter.
-lose the slow motion wheel spin. If it it doesnt work as proper slow motion then dont use it. The go pro can shoot at 120fps i think. maybe only 60. either way that can be slowed down without losing quality but if you lose quality it's not worth doing as it looks like a slide slow.
- the point of view shots following that are very repetetive and samey. either cut them completely or keep swapping and changing.
- Theres some nice little clips after that of you going through puddles, splashing water etc. again, keep them short.
-try not to use the same shot more than once. even if its a different take.
-around 3:17 theres 2 shots where you ride up towards the camera. very nice shots but dont use them next to each other.
-the end shot could be one of the shots where you come up towards the camera, fade to black as it approaches the camera.
overall it could be alot shorter. You could also inter cut it with some hand held moving around your bike shots. It all clean and shiny and you just walking around it filming it in a nice light with a nice background. just cut in the odd 2 second clip of it every now and then without overusing it. Another nice way to start it could be quiet shots of the trails and hills with bird song etc, then fade the sound down as you add in the sound of the bike starting and then continue with the rest of the footage. less is more though.
