- 4/24 1:28 pm - Quality promo video. Clear, varied shots. IMO...the intro is a little slow. The coach's intro is a great idea but to me he sounds like he's reading it rather that just saying it. I think the level of hype climbs with that execution. I think the piece then takes off from there.
- 3/4 12:40 pm - POSITIVES: VO in the opening is very dramatic, and works well; Game footage is really clear and steady, with nice variety of close-ups and longer shots that follow the action. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: Music change @:27 is unexpected, and the transition from :31-:36 is really awkward. After :36, the music is REALLY dynamic.
- 2/19 8:22 am - -audio/timing was really great -coach notes were great to start the video... great to include the footage in black and white (might have been cool to fade into the color while the music faded in) -great including the footage at the end of the players -- very hype -great to include the school logo at the end as well

Positives: I love that you kept the cheering and natural sound throughout the video. The volume was the right amount to give the video ambiance without distracting from the music. I liked that you included the players' reactions to winning. The energy at the end of the video was great.
Improvements: I would have liked the B-roll to coincide with the voiceover a bit more. Hearing the coach say "hot summer practices" and seeing a football player's breath fog up in the cold is a little contradictory. I would have liked to see more tight shots, and to have the zooming of the camera edited out.

Positives: Looks like a great story to tell. Loved the B+W with the coach's voiceover in the intro. And you didn't just throw a bunch of clips together over a song. There was some chronology to the video with some broadcast narration to tie it all together and advance the story.
Improvements: Where did the green jerseys come from? Different game? Why not add a few scoreboard shots to keep us on top of things as the game progressed or ended?

Positives: The student demonstrated excellent storytelling skills, creating a cohesive narrative from beginning to end. Their strong command of visual composition and camera work, combined with well-timed music editing, enhanced the overall flow of the story. The opening setup and conclusion were particularly effective, making this a complete and engaging piece.
Improvements: The production's sound design would have benefited from higher-quality audio equipment to better capture the dynamic range of both the game action and crowd reactions. Despite this technical limitation, the existing audio effectively conveyed the atmosphere of the event. The cinematography showcased strong compositional choices and camera movements, though some sequences suffered from focus issues.
