- 4/23 11:24 pm - Pros - straight forward and easy to follow story. Tension builds as the trailer develops. Large cast but the important characters were all introduced and the viewer gets a sense of their stakes right away. The picture quality was high; consistent exposure and sharp focus throughout. Felt like an episode of Riverdale, in a good way. Cons - The sound mix is rough and does not harmonize with the pacing of the edit. The sound would duck and no new sound would replace it. Long hesitations before we hear the dialogue the music ducked for, then music hits too loud afterward.

Positives: Impactful camera movement throughout the piece – there is some slight wiggle/jitter that could be improved, but the effort to inject momentum into a short-form piece like this through tracking/dolly is impressive! The font/logo treatment is also nicely designed, and the music works well to help pace the trailer. Good job!
Improvements: Dialogue recording could be improved to give the piece an extra layer of polish – and the mix could be finely-tuned to bring out dialogue (at the moment, dialogue gets a little muddled underneath the music track). Also, in the first 10 seconds, the overlaid audio of Jason's blog video fading out doesn't quite work – maybe figure out a way to cut off the audio in a way that indicates his blog was interrupted?

Positives: Good work
Improvements: sci-fi text doesn't match the story/plot background audio was a little louder than needed
Judge 3
Positives: The intensity is apparent right up front! Also your actors did incredibly well, especially the physical and verbal fight to happen at the end. The plot line was well executed. Gave enough information without giving away the whole movie. A tough line to teeter on! Nice work!
Improvements: A small detail, I would try and get someone who sounds very professional to track your voice over. It will take it to the next level! The sound was at times hard to hear. I was moved by the music but right at the beginning the first guy is hard to hear and at times the random character's whose voice we hear but face we do not see
