• 4/19 8:54 am - POSITIVES: Nice personal opening-- shrink the title a bit to avoid overlapping the face, and let the title linger a bit longer. Great use of text to support your info. Great job using a variety of angles, conveying a personal point of view. Good job including safety tips. SUGGESTIONS: Consider a semi-transparent panel behind the text to make it easier to read. Don't use "the end". Because you wrapped up your story, we know it's the end.

Judge 1

Positives: Camera shots are well done. Interesting subject.

Improvements: Narration seems to get soft in tone at the end of some sentences. Hard to hear it.

Positives: Very nice shots with the hamster in your hands. The sound of the water is well placed and adds a nice touch to the video. The hamster shots running at the: 34-second mark are well done and give the viewer a closeup of the animal. You do a great job of letting the viewer know what to do if they are new to owning a hamster.

Improvements: At the start, I like the angle you use for the shot, but I wish you were looking at the camera to make a direct connection with your audience. Watch the music level. At times it is a little too loud for your voice, and it overpowers the message. Try not to let the music become a distraction. When you use graphics, make sure that you give the viewer time to read what is on the screen. There are a couple of soft shots in the video. Make sure that you keep things in focus when trying to describe a process.

Positives: I like the establishing shot at the beginning introducing the narrator--this is conventional and important. I am glad you showed the narrator at the end, too, because it is such a better way to end. The steps were related clearly and concisely, and the demonstration was very well thought out.

Improvements: The narrator's audio was a little hot
