Judge 1

Positives: You got some good camerawork in general. The biking shots look good and the lighting looks good generally throughout. The inclusion of the third judge who just wants food was a nice touch. Very funny.

Improvements: You're story is pretty convoluted and confusing. Parts of it feel forced like picking up a note about a Master Chef competition while other parts like the competition itself feel like you planned the idea out. It feels very disjointed. The acting is a bit rough. The dialogue feels forced and a bit unnatural.

Positives: 00:25 nice sound edit 04:39 nice ending

Improvements: 00:12 Opening shot needs to be wider. Character's heads keep popping out of frame 01:14 soften those lights. Either bounce a hard light off the ceiling or the wall opposite of where your camera is pointed. Best wishes in all future endeavors. #makemovieshappen

Judge 3

Positives: Solid framing on the shots and I like audio raise when he puts the earbud into his ear. The shooting while on the bike is solid and is smooth. Nice clear shots through the entire project as they are in focus and not distracting.

Improvements: Make sure ot have good audio for the talent The lack of solid audio is a major distribution and you lose the viewer with bad audio. I am not sure why she picked up the sheet, and not why they are doing this or used the line of dialogue where they did. It would be good to use some natural sound in the cooking portion to add another layer to the film.
