Judge 1
Positives: Impressive sequence of the first run by #24. Well timed graphic and replay, which included great camera work. Very clean segment all around. The director pushed for a ton of elements and have a professional looking show. Great timing of graphics,
Improvements: Depending on your replay system, another next step to improve replays would be to show a second angle. Example: Angle 1 is you endzone cam with a catch, followed by high tight cam with another look. Graphics looked amazing throughout this segment. If possible, see if you can include season or last season (if the game is earlier) stats if they are available to help push more information to your viewers.

Positives: - Good work by the director of utilizing all cameras available to keep things interesting during the in-between moments when there isn't a play live. - Great work by the replay operator to quickly have the play cued up and ready for another look, and from an angle that makes sense to highlight the best of the action.
Improvements: - For the announcers, one thing I always talk with students at the college level about is bringing neutrality to your broadcast. There are going to be a lot of people watching your show that are fans of the visiting team - doing things like avoiding referring to your school as "we" and making sure you're brushed up on the roster of the visiting team go a long way in making the broadcast more accessible to all viewers. - When the penalty is called, it's great that you have the audio of the referee in your show to be able to hear the penalty announced. That said, it would be much easier to understand what was going on if you also have a camera shoot the ref and show it during that announcement. That mirrors what you would typically see on a TV broadcast.

Positives: The graphics, editing, transitions, replays, and cuts between camera angles were excellent! This was pro-level directing. Wow! Sound was pretty solid. I didn't notice any sound issues. If the audience doesn't notice the sound, that usually means it was great with no issues.
Improvements: Camera was a little shaky at times. This is more likely to happen when you are zoomed in for a football game (little easier at a basketball game, for example). Also, a few of the shots were out of focus.
