  • 4/25 8:25 pm - Very compelling story and well told! Did not like how you interviewed Tessa with her back to the camera, it just appears a bit awkward. Story is well told though and use of imagery solid. Since she goes to your school, I think you should have shot more of the practice footage yourself instead of using the multiple sources you did. Good job of storytelling on a fascinating and unique subject, well done!
  • 4/22 3:18 pm - Great story idea. The football coach interview audio is not strong, it has a lot of room audio and is very distracting, especially with the doors closing in the background. Her interview is not cut very well, it should have been much smoother with tighter audio edits and broll covering.
  • 4/20 4:14 pm - +Good story find! +Good job getting creative with b-roll and using images from the news. -Need lighting for your interviews-- a little dark -She’s fidgeting in her seat, as a producer you should tell her to stop moving -Sounds like you’re using on-camera audio, it would be ideal if you could use an external device like a zoom recorder to capture audio.
  • 3/5 1:59 pm - Positives: Good mix of interviews and b-roll, showing the perspective of both the player and the coach. What about interviews with teammates? Areas for improvement: Coach's interview has some really distracting background noise. Also, same clip used at 1:42 and 3:32.
