A short documentary covering the process, from start to finish, of making the school newspaper

Judge 1

Positives: Liked having interviewee against white board. Music worked.

Improvements: Sometimes hard to understand what was going on in the scene. Don't be afraid of tight shots. Medium/wide shots can get boring. Some shots were out of focus.

Judge 2

Positives: nice lower thirds; good behind-the-scenes footage and b-roll.

Improvements: Interviewees needed lav mic; ending needed work-should have skipped "The End" title, maybe used shots of students picking up and reading the paper.

Judge 3

Positives: Good story/content. Good multiple interviews.

Improvements: Distorted/twangy sound in certain parts. A lot of background noise.
