• 3/7 4:57 pm - Powerful message. Your story is well-written and the audio is clear. Dramatic lighting worked well, but the lighting strategy is a bit uneven. Multiple locations worked well, but scout them before shooting and plan for lighting accordingly. Shoot test footage. Camera movement was smooth, but not always advancing the story because of the shot content/location. As an outsider, I did not understand the connection of the dark hallways to the VO at :56.
• 3/6 6:13 pm - Wow. This is a powerful promo for school unity. You captured her spoken word beautifully with your cinematography. Well done.

Judge 1

Positives: -Lighting is solid. -Camera settings appropriate. Good color depth. -Audio mix levels are appropriate. No noticeable presence.

Improvements: -Some camera moves are choppy. Dolly changes direction at spots where it seems like they just ran out of space. -Tempo of the piece doesn't seem to advance. There was a sequence of shots that looked like the cut was taking us to a new place, but the style reverted. -Several plosives.

Judge 2

Positives: the idea of her in different locations of the school was well executed. lighting was nice looking

Improvements: intro title cards could have been shorter, some of the pans were not necessary and almost seemed force.
