Judge 1

Positives: great opening explanation of video some good variety of camera shots voiceover did good job explaining the purpose of piece

Improvements: could have improved last shot so not so much camera action into the trees and maybe, more golfer centered.

Judge 2

Positives: Well shot, well-edited piece that showcases the joys of playing on the golf team. Good utilization of all the participants to share their thoughts and feelings about golf and the team-building aspects of the sport.

Improvements: To provide a less superficial and more depth report, perhaps some statistics about the number of golfers in Illinois or on high school teams in Illinois would be helpful along with the team's win-loss record or history. Some of the life lessons golf teaches like patience, precision, strength, hand-eye coordination and disciple would help add dimension to the pursuit of the sport beyond comradery.

Judge 3

Positives: Opening edited sequence of shots was great. Excellent continuity throughout. Great editing throughout. Good camera work, selection of shots and framing. Using music throughout worked really well.

Improvements: Some of the video levels could have been improved slightly if those type of tools are available to to the editor. Some shots looked a bit dark. Or shooting with a bounce card would have helped.
