- 4/30 3:10 pm - Some nice shots throughout. Nice way to promote your program. Music drops in a little "hot" right after the intro (:24). Some nice transitions. Shows off your set and equipment nicely. Solid ending.
Judge 1
Positives: opening shots of camera, tech operators effective in promoting the program interesting camera shots through the viewfinder of the cameras
Improvements: more action shots of the sports being filmed perhaps a chronological approach to the set up and filming of a sporting event could help
Judge 2
Positives: There's some genuinely good footage here and you can tell the students have access to real production equipment. A few of the shots show solid camera work and capture the energy of a live broadcast environment.
Improvements: The audio is inconsistent throughout and really distracts from the overall piece. There's no narrative thread or commentary from students in the program, which is a missed opportunity for a promo like this. Without voices telling us why this program matters, it feels more like a montage than a story. The heavy zoom-ins on cameras and gear come across as technical filler rather than purposeful shots, and the opening doesn't really pull you in. A promo for a media program should make you want to be in that room.
Judge 3
Positives: It was exciting to watch. Vibrant. Upbeat. Excellent visuals. Powerful soundtrack.
Improvements: Could have use either: More narrative - or - captioning explaining the program. Information on how to get more information? A website or contact info?
