  • 4/15 7:57 am - Nice, I liked the different camera angles, maybe a wide shot or high angle showing the entire gym. A logo or graphics would help promote
  • 3/4 9:34 am - This is a great highlight video with well done editing and music choices, but what is it promoting exactly? If it is the season great...let us know with some graphics/text. If it is a specific game even better, but once again needs graphics/text to inform us of what this is for.
Judge 1

Positives: Good mix of the low-angle footage - you feel you are THERE including the warmups. Piece was set up very well with the athletics sign and the team all together on the floor.

Improvements: Needed crowd noise to add atmosphere. There were some impressive plays here - did the crowd react? Again, no font treatment and no indicators about anything.

Judge 2

Positives: Cutting to the music helped drive pacing. Close ups of players had enough variation to feel engaging.

Improvements: Some shots were too dark to see clearly. Lack of ambient audio and limited use of graphics reduced the strength of the story.

Judge 3

Positives: - As an editing choice I really liked that all of your clips were shot from court level and close to the action. That's such a great way to bring extra excitement as opposed to something shot from the top of the bleachers. - Camera work was strong on the highlights, which also gives great source material to the editors to work with. Great job.

Improvements: - There were a couple of clips that were pretty dark - and it makes sense, because they were from lineups when it looked like at least some of the gym's lights might be off. That's a great spot to use a filter in your edit to brighten it up - brightening the whole shot is one way, but even better would be spotlighting just the player you're highlighting and brightening just them. - The ending was pretty abrupt - in fact, the music just kind of cuts off mid beat. Generally a good idea to try and find a more natural cut point for the track - or at least put a fade onto it so it slowly drifts out in the background.
