- 4/24 7:41 pm - The explanation was done very well, your titles worked with the story and it was all coehesive. Your music was very loud and sometimes fought with your own audio. The opening of the razor package also fought against what you were saying. You had some different angles going on, but the high angle feels a little off, even though I know you were having it so that it didn’t cover your mirror.
- 4/1 12:50 pm - Your steps were pretty clear and easy to follow. There was one step when you mentioned shaving “both ways” - make sure you explain what that means, as when I was watching this, I wasn’t sure what you meant. Most of this video was shot well. There was a shot at :23 that was dark. When setting up, make sure the lighting is consistent from all angles. Good use of graphics to help designate each individual step in this process.
Judge 1
Positives: The visuals in the essay are very sharp - The graphics and lighting were both on point. The graphics work will with the color scheme and the lighting is pleasant and natural looking. The sound was well mixed - the music didn't overpower the dialogue.
Improvements: This is nit-picky, but one of the cameras, the one used for the shot at 00:28 was a little darker than the angles. The high angle has a distinct look to it, but the viewer loses the subject's face if he looks down to do something out of frame and it's not clear what he is doing - cutting to another angle sooner would resolve this.
Judge 2
Positives: Good job with the step-by-step. I like how the music ramps up when you stop talking and then it fades. Good job with the graphics for each step. They help set the next stage. Good camera movement and a variety of shots. You are not in one spot for too long.
Improvements: The light in the background is a little too bright. I am not sure about the high shot. Each time I watched it it became a little more distracting. I see this shot as me looking down on you, and it becomes odd. If possible just shoot straight on.
