Judge 1
Positives: -nice job shooting this in the dark and still trying to capture the action through different angles -the director had great pacing and the shot changed at a natural time.
Improvements: -try not to overuse the panning. Panning with purpose is so important -close ups on the singers would have been a nice touch, even in the dark
Judge 2
Positives: I read that this performance had to be in the dark. That made television production very tough. It was impossible to see anyone or anything. Made evaluating camera and directing almost impossible.
Improvements: Seems like camera tried to get good shots, most LS. Director was stifled by total darkness. Too bad they could not have done a performance for taping only were they might have been able to put the lights up to were cameras had an image.

Positives: - Low light situations can be really tricky, and I thought you navigated this one really well! Even though we weren't able to see the faces of performers, I still felt like the various camera shots and the pace of the directing was great to help me feel as if I was there. - Loved the use of dynamic movement on the cameras to slowly pan across rows of performers. In a situation where the choir itself isn't moving this is really smart to have the cameras do it instead to help add some feeling to the performance.
Improvements: - Even with the lighting challenge, I still would have liked a little more variety in the camera shots throughout the performance. It's obviously a somber song so I'm glad you didn't cut like it was a rock concert, but using a few more shots and a wider variety of angles would help with the visual interest, especially when it is so dark!
