  • 4/30 2:22 pm - Really strong piece overall. The audio has a bit of an echo, but the black and white visuals match the topic nicely and help set the mood. The mix of imagery, narration, and sound design builds tension in a way that works well, and the pacing feels just right. Bringing in the text where the subject is present throughout the whole PSA was a smart creative choice, and there is enough time to read everything on screen. Nice job highlighting such a powerful cause.
  • 4/28 12:56 pm - Fantastic visuals, audio, and voice-over. Great tension and mood building. Your narrator, along with the images, work really well together. One thing I noticed in particular was the pace; your video moved at a fantastic pace and you didn’t rush the text at the end. Nice work! Moving forward, I would suggest darkening the “testimony” shot so you don’t see so much the room to give it a more stark and contrasting appearance. On the close-up’s of the testimonial, I would suggest using some creative lighting techniques so we can see the character’s eyes and “feel their pain” rather than your muted close-up of the forehead. You’re on the right track, nice work!
