• 4/6 3:52 pm - Nice choice of music. Be consistent with editing it to the beat of the music - some was right on and others weren’t. The song has that strong beat - use it. Great variety of video representing so many different aspects of your school - nice job collecting that all together! Start and finish were very similar - great job “bookending” your video.
• 3/12 1:36 pm - All-inclusive. Different sports, programs, spirit, etc.
• 3/12 1:36 pm - Good job editing the team huddles back-to-back. Edited to the "hit points" in the music.
• 2/28 11:38 am - Great drone footage. Decent job editing to the tempo, some of the cuts are off a little. Good song choice. Good variety of footage.Some footage is dark and out of focus. Overall a good segment and I can tell a lot of thought and effort was put into the post editing.

Judge 1

Positives: Camera - the moving shots are well-composed and keep the energy commensurate with the music. The moves are of similar pace relative to the composition. Editing - the segments of the piece are grouped thematically, largely transitioning with the music. This helps create the sense of story.

Improvements: Editing - Cuts are sometimes with the beat, sometimes not. This misses the opportunity to reinforce the feel. Camera - some shots in similar environments are inconsistently exposed.

Judge 2

Positives: creative diverse set of shots. edited to music well

Improvements: intro building shot could have better compostion

Judge 3

Positives: Nice camera work Nice editing Good diversity of subjects Good movement with the video

Improvements: The sound track didn't really fit with the video, it didn't help tell the story. I think the story could have been told in 1:00, a little bit too long.
