The Great Escape

Homewood-Flossmoor

Humorous Narrative

Entry Description

Escaping from being grounded has never been so tough!

Judge 1

Positives: Dad did a great job! Your scene selections and edits were very good. I liked that you didn't hang on to any one scene too long, which is a common error. Your image quality was generally good and you took into account your white balance. Jumping out of the first floor window... nice touch.

Improvements: My concerns were more around the plot and script. Wouldn't he be concerned that his mother is in the hospital? Why did the father come home so quickly? NEVER say "The End" in your video!

Judge 2

Positives: Great use of music to change and enhance the mood. Good shot selection to keep the narrative flowing smoothly.

Improvements: Some edits seemed forced. Just because you have a second angle doesn't mean you should use it. Let the first image carry to the next in a meaningful way. A couple of the actions were too faked.

Judge 3

Positives: Very well edited and shot...nice use of Great Escape theme music and Ferris Bueller-like scenes

Improvements: Needed a little more resolution at the end
