  • 4/23 10:13 pm - Opening shot needs to be better lit. I like the use of the excessive headline graphics to show that it happens everday. but your next graphic has a lot of stats that is tough for the viewer to read and make sense of in a short time. The dark classroom scene needs to be slightly better lit so we can see what's happening. I like the concept of this PSA but the call to action ("write to your legislators") needs to be stronger.
  • 2/26 1:28 pm - STORY: the scenes didn't show the urgency of the hard lockdown, or the anxiety that it creates. No shots of the students or their faces and expressions during the stressful process. PRODUCTION: your lighting was rough; even when a scene is meant to be dark, you need light for proper video quality. Your audio levels were WAY too low; I had the YouTube volume turned up all the way AND my BOSE speakers turned up all the way, and I still could barely hear the audio. Be mindful of your VU meter when mixing your audio. Primary audio (dialogue, voice overs, etc.) should run between -6 and -12 db on the VU meter, sound effects should be between -15 and -18 db, and music beds should be between -18 and -24 db.
