- 4/30 4:31 pm - +Nice attention getter. I like what you did with the natural audio. Good b-roll of game footage. Nice job doing a 2-camera interview shoot. -I think you could light your interviews better so that you can't see the curtain in the background, it just looks black--this would look more sleek.
- 4/26 9:14 pm - KEEPERS: Cool story about a team motivated to reach the highest levels of achievement. The interviews were well produced for the most part and the production audio was good. The editing was well paced and it kept the piece moving well. IMPROVEMENTS: Work on your audio mixing on the whole. The music at times completely overpowered your interview soundbytes. As a reference, mix dialogue at -12 to -6db, SFX and Nat Sounds from -24 to -18db and music from -30 to -24db. This should give you an even mix throughout. Frame your interviews a bit better. The headspace was inconsistent from player to player. Consider using the rule of thirds as well when framing them. From a holistic story standpoint, this almost felt more like a hype video than a documentary. The story was about what everyone was hoping would happen rather than what was happening or what had happened. Most documentaries base stories on what occurred in the moment or recap what had already happened. I think this would have been better had it been a sports promo video but you kept the soundbytes in as the highlights played. All in all, this had a lot of potential. Keep telling stories.
