  • 4/28 1:50 am - Creative use of this platform. All elements tie into each other well and tell a story in a short amount of time. Some nice shots used throughout. A classic example of iPhone digital photography.
  • 4/21 1:05 pm - Classic chase scene with some decent shot variety. Everyone knows that Elvis is still alive and this piece cements it for me, haha There's some dynamic camera movement (nice rotation around the chase character), we see a nice closeup of the same character w/ the same light from the setting below and the ever elusive Elvis with a nice edit combining the two shots. Of course the soundtrack fits as well. For a short comedy, I think this was done well. It's not too busy, there's conflict and somewhat of a resolution, although we don't see Elvis getting caught-- the legend continues!

Positives: Very dynamic shots. loved the ones shot from below as the student jumped. The sequencing of the shots told the story really well. I loved how one shot flowed into another. Not a single shot was out of place, or to short or too long.

Improvements: This video didn't follow the prompt: Using the editing tools available on your phone/social media app, create a video using ONLY your cell phone that includes ALL of the following items: school mascot, front of your school, school colors, school clothing, and sign with your school name. These items could be combined (ex: school colors are on your school shirt. I would have loved some natural sound at the beginning to transition into the song.

Positives: Nice transitions to help move the story along. I like the camera angles that were used as well.

Improvements: I would have cut the video down by 5 seconds since social media videos are supposed to be quick.
