- 2/28 11:47 am - Good pacing for the reporter tracks, but bring more credibility and expression to your delivery. You can smile when you track because we will hear that! Would've like to see a fun reporter standup with this type of story. Very good synchronized audio and pictures. B-roll looked great
- 2/26 12:31 pm - This story is pretty solid. It has all the pieces needed for a news package. I think that this story could be shorter and some of the soundbites are too long. I also didn't really understand the reason behind this event. Maybe I missed it. Is this in some way connected to the school? The name keys for the interviews didn't clearly let me know who they were in terms of how they were connected to this.
- 2/21 2:28 pm - - Video matched audio - Writing was too elementary - - listing all the trucks, listing all the foods - SOTS were too long - The track was good – very energetic - Not enough NATS - Framing on SOTS was not great - Repetitive in general - Broll shots were steady and there was a good variety Overall, was a good subject matter and very visual but felt long and repetitive, would have been better with nats
Judge 1
Positives: - I like how you were able to weave in a number of interviews in a way that helped the story move along. Great job on this. - You did a good job of writing this story. There's a clear beginning, middle and end. Nice work!
Improvements: - This story really needs natural sound. I want to hear the food truck employees doing their work, food sizzling/being cooked, bells being ringed when orders are up, etc. Including that audio makes me feel like I'm there, which makes me more interested in the story. - I think you had good visuals overall. It would have been even better if you got into one or two of the food trucks too to help with the feel. Then, make sure you include sequences (wide shot, medium shot, tight shot) to add variety.

Positives: I like that you got a lot of broll I do like that you spoke to several people and didn't rely on one interview
Improvements: There were a lot of missed opportunities for nat sound. You said live music but you didn't stop to let me hear it. I was hoping to hear someone ordering at a food truck or a vender yelling out an order complete. This felt a bit long if we weren't going to hear from anyone actually attending. We didn't need to hear from three separate officials.

Positives: -Good use of video, nice to see a variety of angles -It was good to see the reporter's narration match the video
Improvements: -I would have liked to hear more natural sound.. especially in between transitions. -It would've been nice to hear from one of the food truck vendors, to hear their pespective on what it means to be a part of the event.
