- 3/4 1:00 pm - POSITIVES: Clever concept, that also features the collaboration of a variety of students & skills. Great story arc, with a closing that ties in some of the sounds! Good composition variety & interesting camera angles! AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: :24 Footsteps aren't audible-- stick with your theme concept.

Positives: Great natural sound. I love hearing all the tools going, and how each sound is layered on top of the others. This was such an effective way of telling a story. When the teacher says "SHHHH" it's such a satisfying climax to the narrative.
Improvements: Honestly this was really good! I have such nitpicky comments. Maybe there is less headroom in the shot of the girls doing makeup. The last message to join the stage crew didn't match aesthetically with the rest of the video. Maybe if it had been on the white board as well?

Positives: I like the premise/structure and everybody looking when the director calls for quiet. I agree crew doesn't get enough credit and they are a very important part of a production. Way to pick up the pace at the end before breaking for quiet.
Improvements: Just a bit repetitive with some clips. How many times can you fake make up a person? No old set pieces to move or scene designs to show?

Positives: The student demonstrated incredible creativity with the sound design and editing. Their innovative approach effectively told the story while showcasing the theatre crew's talents. The storytelling was compelling throughout, and the ending was particularly strong and encouraging to join the club.
Improvements: The sound design was well executed, but the audio levels needed more consistent recording. Room tone should have been captured throughout the production. The cinematography would have benefited from improved lighting, particularly with proper implementation of three-point lighting setups. Great work here!!
