- 4/20 11:49 am - What a fun assembly! I like how your piece captures the various activities making up this assembly and the variety of people participating in these different events. Your piece contains many excellent shots taken from a wide range of angles/perspectives. You also varied the speed of your shots effectively. The opening sequence is beautifully shot and edited, but it accounts for about a third of you promotion (In other words, a large portion of your piece does not have a lot to do with the assembly). Would you have been able to use this time to show more of the assembly? Continue to work on cutting your video to the beat of the music. Also, images obviously communicate a lot and so, too, does the audio that accompanies these visuals. Don't just include the sights of the assembly, include some of the sounds as well.
- 3/2 2:05 pm - You did a fantastic job beginning this video in a very creative way with great lighting and sound. You also had great footage of the assembly and your transitions with sound and effects matching!

Positives: Showed broad range of activities from sports to cheerleaders to dancers - ALOT of different types of students seen Camera work was sharp and focused on the action
Improvements: Would like to have heard student voice/cheers, etc... Unsure of the "story" - was just a collection of the various elements

Positives: Good use of natural sounds in this video. I like the music and the variety of shots once the video gets going You had some great expression and emotion in this video which makes it impactful for the viewer. Creative shots and concept with the old school film projector. You do a great job of matching the beats and making quick edits that flow very well.
Improvements: I thought the start of the video was too long and slow. I wanted to jump right to the event itself. I think that this concept could have been even more effective had you used some old school footage from classes in the past, hence the homecoming portion of the video. Had you done this it would have captured the viewer's attention.

Positives: This looks like a blast! You did a great job of including exciting broll and shots that flowed really well together. Think it would be a fantastic promo for the school! Loved the way you set up the assembly and the way you used music to show the change of storytelling.
Improvements: Your camera work to get going was fantastic. I would suggest shortening this up a tad! I loved the end shot- would have loved to see a strong call to action or high school message there to further drive home your message!
