- 4/29 9:19 am - Wide coverage camera needs to pan with the wrestlers.

Positives: Good content in the sideline hit. Women's wrestling is a small but up and coming sport, and it's great to have some exposure and insight on this. Good excitement from the announcers on the first pin. This helps keep your viewers engaged and excited. To further this call, think about what else can be said in this moment. Is this this her first ever pin? Is this her 7th on the season? Etc.
Improvements: Unlike other sports, in wrestling it's important to keep the head ref in frame at all times. The viewer needs to be able to see when points are being awarded and his calls as the match unfolds. I liked the sideline hit and it's content, but it took away from the big moment which was the pin. It would have been nice to see a bit more of the RB's player that won, and even a replay if possible before moving to the interview. Big moments such as pins should be highlighted more and it would have been nice to talk about that a bit more and see her on camera. As a suggestion for announcers, try to stay unbiased. There are certainty going to be fans from the other school watching, and by saying "we lost" and being disappointed when the away team scores makes it more difficult for other viewers to be engaged. The pin from the other school is still a big moment and should be treated as such like the RB one. Unsure if game cam was a lock down, but would have liked to see more movement from this camera if it was operated.

Positives: - The sideline interview was well done and brought some good off-the-mat content to the broadcast. - Good job not being thrown off by the exceptionally quick end to the first match in this clip. You never think something is going to be over that quickly, so it can sometimes cause chaos with the broadcast when it is - you all didn't lose your cool in the moment.
Improvements: - For the talent, two things. First, there was some chatter that sounded like it should have been off-mic that was picked up, talking about getting the list of seniors. Second, towards the end I don't know if the comment that "girls wrestling has not been doing well" is appropriate when providing coverage of that sport. - For the director, the camera shot of the second match in this clip was a little too tight. It's important for your primary camera to keep the main referee in the shot so that we can see their hand signals - that's how points are awarded/shown, and the viewer being able to see that can help their understanding of what is happening in the match.

Positives: I thought the announcers and side line reporter had some great talent. Very professional and natural feel, all around! Great camera work. I wasn't really noticing the camera shots... usually a good thing. The camera (and directing) was great because the broadcast kept cutting to exactly what I wanted to see at the right time.
Improvements: At 2:00 the announcers seem like they don't realize they are being recorded. Or maybe they do know, but they are being a little too casual with their conversation.
