Positives: 1. Loved the introduction! You've got a great personality. And the wipes between the static shots of Buona made them more dynamic. 2. Very fun taste testing segments!
Improvements: 1. The lighting inside Buona is slightly yellow and could have used some color correction. One of the shots was very dark too, of the second taste tester. 2. The questions could have flowed together better, so it feels like watching a conversation rather than a series of hot seat questions.

Positives: 1. The editing and cinematography are superb. You really capture beautiful B-Roll used throughout the show. It has incredible potential to be a show on the Food Network. 2. The video transitions, graphics, and music are well done and great touches to the video.
Improvements: 1. I’d suggest using lavs or a rode mic to get clear audio and to avoid background noise. When you use the lav or rode make sure it’s coming from the mic and not the internal mic that is in the camera. You can easily test the mic by using headphones that are plugged in the actual camera and tapping the mic to see if it’s working. Make sure to watch audio levels as well. 2. For the host, avoid looking directly into the camera when asking a question. It feels to personal to the view rather than the interviewee.
