- 4/23 10:19 pm - Some nice clear shots in the beginning but I would suggest staying away from practice footage. It comes across as staged and flat. Use of AI VOs? Maybe consider having a student performing VOs for authenticity. Game footage is shaky and oftne runs out of focus. Lastly, really consider your font choices. The vibe, the shots, the effects the fonts should all connect in vibe.
- 3/4 12:35 pm - POSITIVES: Pregame B-roll shots are steady, with good composition and shot variety. The theme comes through strong in combination with the music bed. Great shot variety, and strong editing to the music. Very strong closing! AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: Game footage gets pretty shaky, especially in contrast to the footage in the front half.
- 2/18 1:29 pm - -Great blend of audio and song choice -Amazingly clear footage -Would put a warning for the strobe light

Positives: Dramatic, varied and well-lit shots! I felt the excitement and thrill of the football season. I like the natural sound coming in at the end of the video.
Improvements: I would find a voice-over voice that better matches the dramatic tone of the video. Maybe it's because I've listened to too many TikTok meme videos using this AI-generated text-to-voice bot, but the tone automatically reads silly to me. Find a friend who is really good at voicework and have some fun with it! A real human will almost always sound better. Same with the opening shot. The dramatic music doesn't mesh with the tone of the shot, which is of a player idling with his mouthguard in. If you had a shot of a player who is really focused, in the moment, during a still part of the game, that would have been great.

Positives: I like how you had some narration to tie things together and there was a progression from preparation to game time. And you tied it all together with an invitation to the game.
Improvements: I figured the rivalry out at the end, but a tip off of the rivalry at the beginning would have given some context to the video and helped the build up to the game.

Positives: The student demonstrates strong technical editing skills, particularly in how the voiceover, music, and footage work together cohesively. The student clearly invested significant time in the editing process, successfully matching the narration with both the musical score and visual elements. The piece effectively tells the team's story through polished editing and professional-level production. The camera work is also well executed and shows clear effort and attention to detail.
Improvements: To enhance the impact, incorporating ambient sound from the game, such as crowd reactions, players' breathing, and on-court action, would help immerse viewers in the intensity of the moment. It would have been more impactful to hear from the team or coach rather than the robotic narration as it sounded AI-generated.
