- 3/22 2:05 pm - I loved the use of the black and white cuts. Love the authentic family shots rather than using student actors. Great transitions between messages. Could use some color correction overall, but great job with a humorous, universal PSA topic in general!
- 3/6 7:08 pm - I really enjoyed this and got a bit of a laugh out of it too, because it rings so true. I like how you froze the scene and changed to black and white and had the boom sound to show us what we needed to be aware of - great way to draw attention to the main ideas of your PSA!
Judge 1
Positives: The message was clear and unique for a psa. The use of black-and-white freeze-frames was humorous and kept the viewers' attention. Overall, the dialog was clear and the music and dialog were evenly balanced. The on-screen graphics were clear and visually appealing. The text animation was a nice touch.
Improvements: The dialog at the start of the piece starts instantly. Including a brief pause would have allowed for a smoother opening. The lighting could have included more contrast. Since each shot had a lot going on visually, having a contrast between the foreground and background would have allowed the viewer to stay focused on the subject.
Judge 2
Positives: Very clever idea for a PSA. True it is! You captured ideas and brought them to life. Good settings and actors.
Improvements: Narrator spoke much too quickly to clearly understand. Some graphics need to be on screen longer.
