  • 4/25 8:04 pm - STORY: This is a great story! You provide a lot of information for your audience not only through the clips you use but through the narration as well! SOUND: Overall sound is crisp and clear! Great mix between the song and the narration! CAMERA: Lots of great closeup shots! And great job including some footage from the competitions. I think it would be nice to see some footage of the student in action! Your interview shot is also framed well! LIGHTING: Great job lighting your interview shot! I really like the extra light on the trophy in the background. That’s a really great touch to separate your subject from the background! EDITING: I think you do a great job overall with pacing. Your editing gives off the feel of being “to the point” with what your subject is talking about and I appreciate that!
  • 4/24 10:53 am - There are a lot of trophy and awards shots here...although they are all perfectly lit and executed well, it would have been nice to see more creative cross country practice shots or competition footage mixed in. The interview is set up very well and the audio sounds great throughout the promotion video. I also thought it worked well to use the computer screen for the beginning and end as it tied everything together. Overall, great job!

Positives: Liked contextualization of opening with last season's state championship narrative voice was clear and articulate

Improvements: Would like to have heard from more than one individual from the team more shots of the athletes and less of the trophies

Positives: The composition of the award shots was excellent. The voice track and footage of the person narrating are effective. The fact that he is humble and dedicated to the team comes across very well.

Improvements: Include more running shots. Consider replacing some of the award footage with action footage. Also, it would be effective to include some audience reaction. It's a big deal winning state. It's important to emphasize that through the reactions of the fans and the runners. Make sure to identify the person speaking. It's important for your viewers to know his name and how he is involved with the team.
