• 4/27 1:33 pm - Great topic--nice job integrating the interviews of the players along with the coaches. Pay attention to your lighting--scout the location ahead of time & shoot test footage if possible to see if you need to deal with backlighting issues. This was the case in your piece--too many shadows on your subjects' faces because the light source was primarily behind them. Needed to work on shot variety -- mostly long and medium shots. Zooms should be more steady.
• 3/6 3:05 pm - Awesome story line. I enjoyed watching the B-Roll, but I would have liked to see a bit more variety. Remember to use the Rule of Thirds for the interviews - give the audience a more interesting background. Well done on your audio!
