The upbeat song choice along with the natural audio countdown at the beginning works very well. I only wish the video was a little longer! Overall, good job!
- 4/22 12:27 pm - STORY: Overall, you provide a lot of information and context that feels like you are actually welcoming students back to school! Your message is clear! SOUND: Great job mixing sound at the beginning of your video. I would actually suggest that you keep the audio of the countdown going as we hear the song start at 0:07. I think it would add a lot more to your video if we hear the sound from all the clips you use (this could be faint!). For example, it would be nice to hear the audience cheering at 0:10, or laughing at 0:15 and 0:18. It would also be nice to hear the sound from the clip at 0:27 as well. CAMERA: Overall you use a wide variety of camera shots and angles! One thing to keep in mind is your white balance (WB). Your WB at 0:11 is very yellow. The WB in the clip at 0:12 I would say is pretty well balanced. In any event that you cover, make sure that your WB actually works and is consistent if using multiple cameras. Obviously this is a compilation of different events, so take the time to adjust WB in editing! LIGHTING: You use lighting effectively in your shots. I think there are just a few places where the lighting overexposes your shot. At 0:10, the whites are slightly blown out from the field lights on the players. And then the shot of the crowd right after this is just slightly darker. EDITING: I think you do a great job pacing your video to the song! There are a few moments where you include faster cuts to speed up videos which I appreciate. These are the moments at 0:28 to 0:32. One suggestion here is to cut out a bigger portion of frames when making these cuts on the same clip so that it actually looks like it’s much farther in the clip. Sometimes if you don’t create enough space between the moments, it makes it look like a jump cut. Especially on the drone shot of the school, make much more drastic spaces between the cuts in the same clip so we can actually SEE the edit in the clip and that it doesn't feel like a jump cut. One suggestion for this drone shot would be to actually fly over and past the school building. That way when you make these quick cuts on the same clip, it’s okay if it looks like you fly over the school, and then you still see the logo come up on screen.
