- 3/3 6:26 am - Nice mix of stories, Audio was pretty good. The anchors have nice personalities and one thing they can work on is what to do with their hands. Both of them spent the entire time with their hands clenched together. It is an awkward thing at first, but practice having them on the desk. Watch some professional newscasts to see that these anchors do. The shots of the anchors could be tighter. There is a lot of dead space around. Find some better locations to do stand-ups in besides the block walls. There were some jumpcuts in the bowling interviews. Jumpcuts are OK for social media and YouTube, but in traditional newscasts is it still frowned upon. Hide those jumpcuts with some b-roll. Also, in the super bowl story, the teacher Chiefs fan is looking up. Get next to the camera so they look at the right place.
- 3/1 9:56 pm - A tripod goes a long way, especially for a standup and an interview. The OTS graphic is very small, you are wasting half the composition. I appreciate ethe attempt, just a simple recompose would do the trick.
- 2/28 10:54 am - Really cool opening sequence! Consider cutting to one anchor when reading the news. Makes the other anchor who is sitting there a little less awkward. The reporter in the first segment is not looking at the camera? Solid story though. TV graphic behind the anchors is really little- hard to see what's in there! Bowling segment- get some b-roll!!! We want to see the ball rolling, hear the pins smack! Microphone in interviews is a little scratchy. Mental Health Fair- solid story. Superbowl story- Jump cuts in teacher's interview- cover that up with b-roll! Try cutting out some of the dead space on your anchor shots- there's a whole lot of empty space and then the graphic is hidden in there too. Frame it better! Overall a decent show!
