• 4/23 7:03 am - Good feel-good story. Include natural audio on all of your b-roll. Some shots had it, while some did not. Interview with the coach and player - if the reporter is going to be in it, you need to dress up - at least a polo shirt - but sweatshirt and sweatpants doesn’t look professional. Make sure the coach knows to look at you and not at the camera.

Positives: -Great use of nat sound off the top of the story! -All of the b-roll matched the track and helped keep up the pace -Great energy throughout this piece, it moved along well -Loved the overall message and theme to this story, it allowed the viewer to connect

Improvements: -Sports have so much sound, there definitely could have been more nat sound/ pops used throughout the story! I would've loved to have heard cheers/ excitement during and after the matches. -More shot variance would've taken this story to the next level. Don't be afraid to include tight shots, and medium shots of the action. That way we don't see all wide shots.

Positives: Nice voiceover voice. Good story. Good broll.

Improvements: The moment where the voice over says Will got down to business, we should see the wrestling shot that comes a little later... A little more background on Will. Would be nice to hear from a member of the team talking about what Will means to the team.
