- 5/1 1:59 am - Nice job capturing the tension in this scene. The way you followed the conflict between the characters really helped set the tone, and your mix of wide, medium, and tighter shots made it easy to stay engaged with what was happening. The main area to improve is the audio. At times the dialogue was tough to understand because of echo and what sounded like distance from the microphones. Bringing that in cleaner would make a big difference and help the performances come through more clearly.
- 4/29 10:45 am - This really captured the intensity & tone of this scene by capturing the conflict between the characters, well done!
- 4/16 2:15 pm - Cameras and switching do a good job of following the scene with a mix of wide, medium, and tight shots throughout. The sound is difficult to hear at times as their is a lot of echo and seemingly distance from the mics throughout which makes the dialogue tough to understand.
Judge 1
Positives: Camera exposure was good and added to the feel making it look like a classic horror film. There was also a good combination of camera angles such a a wide shot of all actors and a single shot to get close up reactions.
Improvements: It was difficult to hear the actor's dialogue. You can help this moving mics closer to the stage or even grabbing a an audio out of the front-of-house audio mixer if the actors are wearing mics, and connect the audio to the camera for record for in-sync audio. There was also a couple of times that the camera made movements before they were taken to a different shot or, moved right as the camera was taken live.
Judge 2
Positives: It is difficult to capture a live production especially when it is designed for the stage and the TV. This production did the best it could.
Improvements: Lighting was not really conducive for TV (realizing it was a theatrical setup). These characters needed to be mic. Audio sounds like a pickup of a single mic. Almost indistinguishable at times. Close ups were late. The director should have blocked his camera shots with the script.
Judge 3
Positives: Great close-ups. Really felt like I connected with the cast better than I would have in the audience. Good adjustments to the stage lighting to make sure I could capture details.
Improvements: Missed the plug into the audio board. Most dialogue was difficult to hear or understand. Adding a wide shot into the entry to help me understand contextually the lab they are in would make this even stronger. Most shots were medium or close-up shots. Variety is important.
