  • 4/25 8:06 am - Great story concept--relatable to all students! Editing was clean, and pacing worked well with the music bed. Cutting with the music makes the story integrated on a higher level! Great variety of camera angles and content & composition! Excellent job!
  • 4/8 12:51 pm - Love how background music did not dominate the video; great editing in cutting the music when inside the classroom- really added to the excitement of the game, especially when the mascot came in with the lightning bolt!
  • 3/7 9:02 am - Love that you pass around the ligthening strike to share your excitement and get everyone pumped up for the game and then end it by being out on the field with your student section. It's a great way to segue to the game and cheer zone. I also really enjoyed your choise of music. Very good video work as well!

Positives: Great story with incorporation of teacher Enjoyed seeing the teacher get teleported into the action of Titan Nation

Improvements: stronger ending.... or an end - the story started strong but needed a punch to finish it

Positives: This is a very clever project. You used some advanced editing techniques (cross-cutting) very effectively. It's apparent that a lot of thought and planning went into this. (Excellent preproduction) Through camera work, acting and editing, you were able to effectively capture the spirit of what I think a pep club should do. Great work!

Improvements: It's a real stretch to recommend things that could be improved. Here is what I came up with. Try experimenting with the lightning. I'm not sure what you are using to do your editing. But some software will allow you to create mattes which will then allow you to place the lightning behind as well as in front of the people. I'd also try putting some lightning over the end graphic instead of behind it. After doing that you may find things looks better as they are. But you should think about trying things like that to open up possibilities.

Positives: Great transition from a class to the field. I like the reax shot from the teacher and the students around her. The crowd shots are perfect!!! Show more of them and let them show how great Titan spirit is.

Improvements: Have the teacher talk when you show the kids falling asleep. Think Ferris Bueller. This way there is no stop and start to the noise. I was confused as to why we went back into the room.
