  • 4/22 11:57 am - *Strengths 1. Video quality (shallow depth of field helps draw attention to key areas of the frame) 2. Listing/presentation of supplies (materials necessary to complete the project) 3. Use of transitions 4. Appropriate music *Areas on which to work: 1. The steps in your process identify what needs to be done and the order in which they need to be completed. You can strengthen your demonstration by providing more information regarding the techniques needed to complete various steps in the procedure. 2. Your narration also can include relevant and interesting background information related to your topic. The process alone likely will not be enough to keep the audience engaged. 3. Continue to look for creative ways to begin and end your pieces. 4. Look for opportunities to make your audio track richer by incorporating some nat sound.
  • 3/6 9:58 am - Good audio levels and music choice. You could have used light more effectively to "show off" the lava lamp. Possibly lite the lava lamp from the back and made the room darker. No measurements for ingredients so instructions not as clear as they could have been. Nice close up of the orange one near the end. Editing was consistent. Shots could have been better composed.
  • 3/3 9:24 pm - Cool project! Love the bright flash transitions. Some neat shots, though some are a bit awkward. The narrator sounds a bit board. The music works to fit the mood of the project.
