Documentary

Entry Description

The story of the final football game of a surprising deep run into the State Playoffs that drew more than five thousand people to the game.

Judge 1

Positives: Interesting shots. Like the timelapse. Good music choice.

Improvements: Not sure I would have started with shot of weights...perhaps barren football field as opening shot to establish piece. I think some supporting soundbites would have helped the story.

Judge 2

Positives: Beautiful shot of the stands filling up; good music choice.

Improvements: Would have liked nat sound much earlier in the piece, I felt disconnected from the games because of that; would have liked a close up of the scoreboard or newspaper clipping to see the final.

Judge 3

Positives: Good introduction/build-up. Good use of rack focus.

Improvements: Zoom ins/outs could be smoother. Hard to tell who won on the field.
