  • 4/23 12:19 pm - Great transitions and great editing! The lighting was creative and fitting to the school colors. The sound effects were a nice touch. Overall, fantastic promo!
  • 4/17 8:48 am - STORY: Your story here is to showcase the cheer team and I think this video did that. You give the audience essential information including who is on the team, what colors the team wears, what their uniforms look like and some cheer moves. This video definitely sells the cheer team! SOUND: I think you chose a great song for this promotional video. It gives off that exciting feel! I like how you used the “pencil”, “sparkle” and “wind” SFX. This just added to your shots and amplified/justified a lot of the transitions that you use like at 0:07. CAMERA: You use a lot of CU shots which I think is great. It shows off the uniforms that the cheer team has and I think that was a smart move. One MS was slightly out of focus at 0:12 on the person that was on the left side of the frame. You utilized a combo of CU and MS that utilized movement which I thought worked very well. LIGHTING: Very unique lighting! Loved how you used the lighting and smoke at 0:20 to create a silhouette. Definitely creates a more impactful shot. Your lighting throughout demonstrates control and helps enhance your story. EDITING: Great pacing overall. You cut mostly on the beats along with SFX that you included. All your edits flowed together. There was one moment at 0:24 where the cut is slightly off beat compared to the other silhouette shots. Just something to pay attention to. Very creative use of transitions between shots using a slide and whoosh effect. Nice use of using the logo as a transition piece too!

Positives: The lighting and fog are intriguing. I particularly like to inro where you used silhouettes of some of the members. I'm not sure what software you used to edit. But the Shine or Light Burst effect coming off "Batavia" pushes the element of interest and is also very effective.

Improvements: At about :20 - :26 consider transitioning from the silhouette of each member to a lit view during each of the shots.
