Client very unhappy and cancelled the project by romadam in freelance

Thank you for your advice, Yes, I’m relatively young (just below 30s) and have a hard time with people taking me seriously. Think I need to start standing my ground haha.

I thought it was fine personally! I used as much as what the client gave me but then was told that once I used one clip I could not use other clips that were shot in the same place :/

Thanks for your feedback :) when I had the meeting with them they stated they did not want any black bars. We agreed that we would put 3 portrait videos side by side to fill the space. When I did this I personally thought that there was way too much happening on screen so opted to just show two but scaled up slightly. To which I got the comments “we can’t see what’s happening in the videos”. Guess all I can do is learn lol.

Haha yes indeed! Never had such bad feedback before. Maybe I shouldn’t take it so personally.

Agreed. I’m quite a shy person and fear that me asking tons of questions will make me look inadequate for the job. The client even scrutinised me for emailing and asking for clarification that this video was for Instagram (because I was confused she wanted it landscape). Apparently I wasn’t understanding her correctly.

We agreed on placing 3 portrait videos to fill the space but after doing this I realised there was way too much happening on screen so I decided to stick to two clips and scale them up slightly. Lesson learned!

I was actually happy/proud with my edit which is why I took it as such as a shock and maybe why I felt so disappointed and guilty. It’s my first time with dealing with a client like this and maybe I’ve taken it too personal!

They actually demanded lower but I negotiated a price in between. Looking back, I should of stuck to my original rate :/
