• 4/25 9:53 am - Nice opening, good use of nat sound. Nice, clean audio edit going back and forth from soundbites to nat sound. Good, clean color in all your shots. Nice little news package. Maybe like to hear something from the kids but I understand that wasn’t necessarily the point of this quick hitting story.
• 3/12 8:35 pm - This is basically a nat sound package and I believe this category is for narrated pieces. As for the package, the interview is strong, well framed and easy to follow. However, it is missing some student interviews that would give a balance to the teacher interview. Overall this would be a nice web piece for the school's website, but not really a news package in the traditional sense.
• 3/9 9:50 pm - I have to agree with the 3/2 comments. Also a variety of shots would play better, maybe some tight or close ups would keep this package engaging. Student perspective would have been nice.
• 3/2 10:16 am - Sound as a sound bite is done well,but reporter track does not exist as the main subject in the video is voicing over. This is not generally the format of a news package. B-roll could use more sequencing. Could also interview other people, like the students and their perspective.
