Rehearsal review

Firstly, remind yourselves what happened in the first rehearsal:

And now here is what we’ve noticed in today’s second rehearsal:

Vasil has not changed much coming from the first rehearsal. In the beginning, the AR placements are now almost perfect and some camera shots have been tidied up. Vocally, Vasil is perfect and delivers a flawless performance.

We also get a few more wide shots, which does not work very well. During his first run, the disco-ball moment did not come across very well, as the light was not strong enough and the camera angle was off. In the second run, however, the light was stronger and the camera angles capture the moment better. The highlight of the song is still at the end, when the North Macedonian flag appears behind Vasil.
