A good reel - Blog Post #13 -

Personally, I think whether you are putting together a directing, cinematography, or editing reel, you should show more than just montages. People need to know that you can be consistent with your shots and directing and editing. For example, anyone can put together montages of pretty shots, but how consistent are they when it comes to the lighting and framing of a scene is hard to tell with their montages. Good reels are challenging to make, and I think that it says alot about the person that made the reel if he can be consistent and visually compelling.
