Judge 1

Positives: Interesting shots. Good use of photos.

Improvements: Didn't like the font choice...for serious topic, it was a bit cartoony. Abrupt cuts. Music was a bit abrasive for content. Lighting needs help.

Judge 2

Positives: Good storytelling, felt like I was getting to know the individuals. Good use of photos.

Improvements: Seemed incomplete; some shots seemed to have a filter on them for some reason; would have had the music run continuous, was distracting to have music stop and start.

Judge 3

Positives: Great content/interviews. Good use of still pictures.

Improvements: Sound volume fluctuates from cut to cut - need to be consistent. Need better lighting.
