- 4/27 7:56 am - Good topic and well presented. Lots of good b-roll and the audio is well done (interviews and b-roll audio). We do not like to see the microphone cable. Both interviewees have collars, so bring the cable up, tuck it under the collar and run the cable down their back.
- 3/7 6:47 am - Very informative piece, with great natural and interview audio, lots of information that was put together very nicely!
- 3/5 11:29 am - Good nats in the beginning, good story, liked the variety of shots, it's a natsot pkg, dress the mic better, Overall good piece but it did feel a bit long.
Judge 1
Positives: - Great job getting a variety of b-roll shots. It's important to see all the things athletic trainers do. - I like how you framed your interviews in the training room. Well done!
Improvements: - There's not a lot of continuity in this story in terms of video. There could have been sequencing with wide, medium and tight shots. - This story needs natural sound. The sound of opening tape, wrapping an ankle, talking to someone who's injured... all of that helps the viewer to better understand what's happening. It needs to be in there.

Positives: I love good nats to starts a pkg. It grabs the attention. I like how you covered long soundbites with video. It makes the piece much more interesting to watch. Good variety of shots showing fully what the club is about.
Improvements: This was just a little too long for a straight nats pkg, meaning no reporter track. Try trimming 30 seconds. Did someone else shoot the video starting at 1:02? It's pretty shaky. It feels like a different shooter or you forgot your tripod.

Positives: Great use of natural sound to drive the piece Loved seeing all the different shots and segments to showcase different angles
Improvements: Lavaliere microphone cord should be hiding under subject's shirts Camera shots were a little shaky during the athletic trainer's presentation. best to use a tripod
