  • 4/23 6:53 am - Story - Good structure of questions. Production Value Good lighting and well composed camera shots. Audio seems a bit distorted. Talent - Appears to make the interview subject comfortable and does a great job keeping the interview conversational.
  • 4/11 9:34 am - Great introduction of the guest, very thorough and descriptive which lets the audience know what we need to know before the conversation begins. The host is prepared and very conversational in her approach throughout the discussion. Around the 2:18 mark a really tight shot of the guest appears that was abruput and happens again at the 2:40 mark. Interesting conversation, well lit, and well executed all around.
  • 3/5 11:37 am - Great intro related to an anchor, although the speaking in regards to the introduction to the actual interview was a little quick. It also seemed that the anchor was quick to respond to the guest's answers... transitions in this part could have been a little more fluid. There was clearly a lot of thought and detail put into this segment!
Judge 1

Positives: -Excellent questions -Nice variety of shots

Improvements: -Audio could use some work -B-roll was kind of random

Judge 2

Positives: The interviewer was prepared with thoughtful questions that went beyond the standard "where are you from," "what do you do" questions some career interviews stick to. Jasmen looks confident on camera and established a good dialogue with the interview subject.

Improvements: The audio was peaking at some points. There was some b-roll, but more photos illustrating his career path and philanthropic efforts would have helped viewers get to know him better.

Judge 3

Positives: 1. Guest was interesting and given lots of space to talk. Good follow up questions. 2. Great camera angles and reaction shots.

Improvements: 1. B-roll seemed unnatural. Especially when it comes to religion, make sure to use b-roll befitting of that particular faith, 2. There were certain shots that uncomfortably pushed in on the guest's face.
