• 4/24 10:57 am - +Good b-roll of the ski club so we can actually see what the interviewees are talking about! +Good shots of the training--very interesting! -Could use some color correction. The interview shots are slightly yellow/green -Check your camera composition. The man outside is in the center of the frame. Follow the rule of thirds that you have established.
• 4/22 3:29 pm - Very cool topic, but the opening could have been so much better- showing a montage of angles would have been amazing (using your best shots from throughout) instead of an interview shot. The music was overwhelming for long stretches- the topic is compelling enough, not need to try to produce drama on this subject. Great shots and angles later on. So many interesting aspects to this, I highly recommend re-shooting and editing this so you can submit a new version next year, if you can.
• 3/5 2:33 pm - Positives: Nice opening pan (could be slowed down just a bit to take it in); Engaging story, but it needs a closing; Areas for improvement: Audio balance needs work--Music bed overpowers some of the interviews; music choice conveys grandeur which goes with the opening sequence, but doesn't connect well with the rest of the story.
