Video Critique: Sin City Shooters

The Sin City Shooters video does a great job of using the natrual sound of the guns to start the clip.  It really gets your interest quick and is a great opening piece for the video.

Later we have the individuals talking about the joy they get from the shooting range, and it really helps you understand the joy that they get when at the range and hitting their targets.  As the one lady put it, “The satisfying wopp” of when the bullet hits the target.

A few of the others interviewed were less enthusiastic about their time at the range, but they all seemed to really enjoy what they were doing, with one saying, “I wouldn’t spend my time any other way.”

One of the camera angles used was a great, as it was behind a target being shot at, so the footage makes it look like the person shooting the gun is aiming at the camera.

The same lady who talked about the satisfying wopp of the gun, again describes the feeling of hitting a target and how a person is “just struttin’” after hitting their target.  She does a good job of describing the feeling you get after a great shot on a target.

For me, watching this video makes me want to go out to a firing range and experience what they are talking about.  This video does a great job using sound and good shots of video to make a very good overall piece about the shooting range and the people who enjoy it.
