- 4/27 5:15 pm - Good use of high angle camera shots. Good use of text and graphics. Music selection works well with the images you recorded. The presenter clearly explained the process. Keep producing more videos.
- 2/23 1:14 pm - CAMERA: Nice use of a variety of shots and angles. The one I wish you did more was the close up of the bowls as she was working. More close ups would have helped make this less boring. Your top camera looking down was cool, but it also felt like you were far away. EDITING: It's clear that this was a cooking show that you edited to make it fit into the 3 minute maximum time length. That's okay, but if you had planned a bit more, you could have shot more insert shots to give your audience some close ups, extreme close ups, and over the top shots. AUDIO: your audio levels were appropriately mixed. The speaker could be heard clearly, and the music did not intrude on the overall presentation.

Positives: She s a real pro in from of the camera! Nice variety of shots to give us a good look at the process. Loved the shot of her framed in between the table legs.
Improvements: This feels like it is too big of a story for just three minutes so we're starting in the middle. The viewer has no idea how to prepare the pumpkin part of pumpkin pie. Your chef could have done a quick mention of what the ingredients are and what quantities are needed.

Positives: The music and graphics complement the tone of the video and the loose Thanksgiving theme. The lighting in the video is pleasant and makes it easy to see what is going on without creating any distracting shadows. It matches what one would expect to find in a kitchen and elevates it to direct the viewer's eye to the instructor and action.
Improvements: The fan noise in the background can distract from what Ms. Honan is saying. While sometimes unavoidable, especially in what appears to be an industrial kitchen, using a different mic or mic placement, or doing a pass in post can help. There are a good variety of camera angles used, though the overhead (0:38) doesn't quite match the other shots used. A little bit of tweaking in color correction would help get it closer and maintain continuity

Positives: Nice kitchen background. Good camera close-ups. But ............
Improvements: Holy Smokes! WAY too many camera shot changes WAY too fast. I was on a roller coaster throughout the video. Maybe a quick overview of the ingredients and quantities required.
