- 4/28 3:41 pm - Including your sources was good. Your topic is an important one and your shots were filmed well, and your messaging was effective. Make sure all of your elements match each other in production value. Your shots were great, but the sound effects of a punch happening and the 'hey' at the end make it sound fake. Think of ways to keep that production value high and to not take away from the message. Great job on this.
Judge 1
Positives: The overall message of the piece was clear and supported with stats and quotes from provided resources. The call to action and resources at the end of the piece was clear as well. The camera movement was steady and the effect of blur on individuals' faces was a creative addition.
Improvements: The audio could have been improved upon. The music was low throughout the piece and the sound effects at the end when the person approaches/punches the student was not aligned with the visuals. Prior to the person approaching the student and punching them, the violence and micro-aggressions by the other students in the hallway were not clear.
Judge 2
Positives: The text screens were informative. The shots of others making fun of the Asian student worked well.
Improvements: Images could have been used interspersed with the black text screens, possibly shots of Asian people living their life. The punch seemed forced and could have been portrayed better, a better build up to the punch.
Judge 3
Positives: Important story, Good focus. Strong message.
Improvements: Needed a bit more "live" camera/actor pieces. Graphics were good but needed stronger support.
