Boston shots

Just threw this together super quick and I know the editing isn't anything special and many cuts are off. I'm more just looking for a critique on the shots themselves and the color. What are some shots you think would be cool that I'd be capable of getting in the city? I'm planning on making a much more legitimate Boston edit once I obtain some more shots and I'm just looking for some ideas/feedback on what I have so far.

Shot on t2i- tokina 11-16, tamron 17-50 non vc, canon 50mm 1.8, canon 70-200 f4l

I had to watch without volume since I'm at school, but I saw a lot of cool shots in there. I'm like 45min from Boston and go down a lot and have wanted to make one of these for a while, I think I might have to make a trip down there soon.

thanks man, it was a glidecam 2000hd. Unfortunately we were in a rush shooting and it could have been balanced a bit better

good work man. I enjoyed it. I did think that you had some shots that lasted way to long though. One was during the shot on that one guy taking a picture I found myself wondering when you would cut away from it because it wasnt that interesting of a shot. Overall I thought it was great though.

thanks guys, +k to everyone.

I do agree that the shot of him taking the picture was too long and dragged out.

For the person that wished some of the clips were a bit dragged out. I was trying to make it short clips for the most part to keep people interested. Like i said this isn't my final "boston edit", i'm looking to put together a much better one in the near future. thanks for all the responses though they're really helping out

I liked a lot of those shots, particularly the shot of the couple looking for directions. I'm not sure why you called it Boston though, even if it is just a practice. From an outsiders perspective (I've never visited Boston properly), almost all of those shots could have been filmed in hundreds of cities around the world.

I know you said it's not a proper Boston edit, but maybe it will still help you think of stuff to shoot by hearing me say I'd love to get a feel for what makes your city unique and interesting. Hope that helps cage your efforts on your next edit, I'm stoked on the style and would love to see the final product!
