- 4/29 8:19 am - This is one of my favorite packages. This is a very relatable story. Great choice to have b-roll over the opening standup at the start. That is a creative way of delivering content and should be used more by others. With limited b-roll I think you did a nice job of masking that. The 2-shot of you talking with the computer is great. Great use of the graphic. Obviously this is from NBC, but you wrote to it well. You had all the right interview. You also found great visuals that helped clear up a confusing issue. You did all the extra steps to make this work. A lesser reporter would've blown this story for sure. Great job and you've got great chops.

Positives: - Your delivery is really advanced for high school. You are comfortable. You highlight the right words, and that's really a testament to your writing. It's clear you understand this topic well. - I like how you used the camera to add cutaways to your Zoom interviews. It's a simple step, but it goes a long way in providing a better edit.
Improvements: - I think you missed more opportunities for natural sound. We all can think of what an airport sounds like. Try starting your package with that sound to really set the stage. It helps move your story along too. - While your standup delivery was great, I think the framing could've been better. I understand the rule of thirds. But for a standup, unless you're doing something active, you should be centered. I know this is tough next to a fence with some planes in the background. Maybe a sign for the airport would be better.

Positives: I like your topic. It's very timely and what everyone is talking about. I like that you got real experts and were very thorough in your explanation. Good use of broll and graphics as you were describing what everything meant I like that your stand up was from an airport Honestly, you could get a first reporter job with this pkg
Improvements: Around 1:20 into the pkg, you used broll of yourself. Remember, you're not the story, so i'ts okay to show broll of the intervieww or even show your computer screen full with the zoom of you and the interviewee like you did at 1:30. While you were very detailed, remember that you don't always have to explain every little thing. You want people to stay engaged and not lose interest. I would shorten this and lose a little bit of the altimeter. A good way to keep that information is to say we'll have more on this on our website or social media.

Positives: -shot well and creatively. -narrated well over video. Good reporter delivery
Improvements: -when introducing interview subject Terry, I would’ve liked to see a shot of him instead of the reporter. Suggestion, use a bite of Terry after the reporter’s track, then lower the audio and let video of Terry run a little longer while the reporter says “this is Terry with ….”. -would’ve loved to hear some natural sound in between tracks to break things up. Perhaps the sound of airplanes, etc
