Aww, it's kinda sad, but very good! The clips you used to tell the story were perfect and made it dramatic

Thank you so much, blackwolf1480. Yeah, it's kind of a weird concept fan vid...wasn't sure how to advertise it as it is really a character study of Juliet from Kate's distorted point of view and then has almost every permutation of the quadrangle in it. I agree, it's funny to me in some parts (partly because I have a weird sense of humor), but really melancholy in others.

Thanks so much for commenting, and I'm glad you liked the clip choices!

Wow Devera, what a refreshing, original video!

P O S I T I V E
- The Use of Lyrics was incredible. Everything fitted your Story very good.
- Kate's thoughts were very comprehensible.
- The Song Choice was great, it fitted the Story of the quadrangle (out of Kate's point) really well
- I loved how you showed a more insecure side of Kate. It was something new. (: You cold feel how hurt and doubtful she was!
- The idea was fresh and original. Loved it.
N E G A T I V E
- Although the song fitted pov very good i'm not sure if I liked the song as one.
- I'm not sure if there were any flashbacks but I think there were. I would've "colored" them Black/White to make it more obvious

All in one a GREAT Character study.

★★★★● - 4/5 Stars

Silver, thanks so much for in depth feedback on the vid, I really appreciate it!

Regarding the tips, I didn't even think about coloring flashbacks--I suppose I was considering the whole thing sort of as in Kate's mind, so it didn't occur to me, but that's a good point considering I was jumping around all over in the LOST timeline (much like LOST does! ).

Quick clarification on the song selection comment, are you saying that you didn't like the combination of the intro song and the "No Wonder" song, or just that the music selection wasn't your favorite? Just curious! I chose it mainly for the content of the lyrics, and I knew it might be risky to throw "Reflections" in there at the front.

I'm glad you have so many nice things to say about the idea and story and appreciate the details you went into tell me what you enjoyed about it.

I'm glad you liked the way i gave you feedback!

As for the song, as said it fitted the situation perfectly in my opinion but that kind of music just isn't the type of music i use to hear. but that's just me and (as said multiple times now, sorry xD) the song still fits the storyline perfectly so no worries about it!

Silver, of course I appreciate your in depth feedback. Thanks for the clarification; I thought that might be what you meant. Barbra Streisand isn't for everyone. I've got a soft spot for her, but it gets me in trouble!
