• 4/24 11:34 am - I really like the B Roll. Graphics were fun and well done, easy to read. Great imitation of this type of program. Audio levels were at a good level and consistent. Music was used well and added to the piece. Clever idea and it was well executed. The ending was really fun!
• 4/16 8:47 am - Well produced both from the technical side as well as the content. Great use of green screen effectively as well as well thought out shots to advance the narrative. Fun and entertaining.
• 3/5 5:51 pm - Positives: Creative and easy to follow story. The contestants seemed enthusiastic and the voice over narration was well written and performed. Improvements: audio had some distortion in the beginning interviews that was distracting.

Positives: Very creative and entertaining. I loved the tease ahead to the next episode. Good job switching between different cast during the interviews and shopping segments. The split screens with all three teams looked great.

Improvements: It sounds like Daniel's mic is rubbing on his jacket in the interview starting at :49 Ask interviews to place mics under their clothes so you don't see the mic cord 1:19 The focus on some of the shopping broll and interviews were slightly out of focus The music during the shopping was a little loud when the teams were talking

Positives: Well produced. Nice graphics throughout. Editing is good. This looks like a real reality show. It's a clever spoof. Love the narrator's voice and the promo at the end promising a "special twist" for next week's episode. The students are very entertaining as they parody tv reality stars.

Improvements: There are a couple of audio issues, the mics are hitting the jewelry, which is very annoying. Students should learn early on to pay attention to little details like this so that an avoidable technical glitch doesn't distract from what they are trying to say. Broll of the clothes in the store could be a little better.
