A reminder to appreciate what we have and I love all of the young voices telling us what they look forward to and how to treat one another. Beautifully done and the music captured the emotion as well!
Judge 1

Positives: variety of voices describing what students were looking forward to in the coming school year various locations highlighted all of the schools of the district

Improvements: lack of consistency in mask wearing - all on or all off Some difficulty understanding what was being said

Judge 2

Positives: This is a very powerful and timely piece. It's emotional without being over the top. Each person interviewed expressed something important and personal. That carried over into the message of your project. Technically, there was a lot of care in both the camera work and audio track. Each shot was composed properly. Care went into choosing proper backgrounds. The voice track was clear and mixed well with the music.

Improvements: This is nitpicking, but there were a few shots where the lighting was a little flat. Look at 00:17, 00:39, and 1:34. Compare these to the rest of the shots in your project. I am also debating on whether or not you could have included some b-roll that would show some of the activities that are being missed by the students and will hopefully resume very soon.

Positives: I like the tracking/ drone shot at the start. The variety of students you use makes your video strong and stand out. Great job of showing the diversity in your video. The framing on your shots is well done.

Improvements: I think there are some points where you could make some edits to make this video even more impactful.
