- 4/10 10:57 am - You have a very strong news package here with great interviews showcasing both sides of the situation. I liked your set up with the movie clips and I commend you for getting all those interviews and B-Roll to really show what you’re talking about. Going forward, I would encourage you to always have some kind of Anchor Voice-over or Anchor on camera for the Intro greeting and the conclusion / sign-off to give the viewer some context that this is a news package, what the message is going to be, and any large takeaways before going to black at the end. Overall, great work, keep at it!
Judge 1
Positives: Great topic. Well written and produced piece. Very good production values.
Improvements: Lighting on interview segments was a bit inconsistent. An on-camera wrap-up would've been a nice finish.
Judge 2
Positives: great supporting interviews from a variety of perspectives Very visual-- great job using variety in shots and interview locations. visually moved really well
Improvements: I would have liked to see a strong beginning - setting up what the story is talking about- the movie clip is okay but i would have liked a little bit stronger set up of exactly what the piece was about Same with end-- i would have liked to see a call to action of how people could find more information about it.

Positives: Coach was good --good soundbites. Good use of nats with the team at practice.
Improvements: Would have shot interviews tighter, and perhaps a more interesting background. Ideally on the sidelines of a game? Lighting was a bit dark, as well. Would consider some doctor sound in this piece. Interesting idea to go without a reporter track -- this is a tricky way to put together a story. A good effort -- I do think since you used movie clips as well, it would have helped to have some track to explain further/help fill in the blanks.
