- 4/23 10:14 pm - The music is a little loud, it competes with Dracula's voice.This was a clever way to grab your audience's attention. The switch from color to black and white and vice versa is a nice touch. The living room scenes needs better lighting, especially when the window is facing the camera. Nice ending graphic, good use of music at the end.
- 2/26 1:34 pm - Okay, this was funny. Definitely a creative idea for donating blood. Production quality was okay; some of your shots were not adequately lit, so image quality looked a bit grainy in those shots. I liked how you cut from a black & white horror movie vibe to the present time in color.
Judge 1
Positives: Great use of fitting music. I liked the pacing of the edit, quick and exciting to view.
Improvements: The composition of a few of the shots could have been improved. The objects in the shot on the playground were distracting. I think the locations could have been more appropriate for your message. Show an actual blood donation center, for example.
Judge 2
Positives: 1 - Using Dracula as a spokesperson for donating blood was very clever 2-video changing from balck and white to color and then back
Improvements: 1 - Dracula accent was spotty and less effective 2- too many cuts in the editing while Dracula gave his monologue
Judge 3
Positives: The message and call to action were very clear. The approach and use of characters were very memorable and engaging.
Improvements: The black-and-white portions of the video were a little difficult to make out. The setting of the "video message" taking place in a park and at a playground did not make a whole lot of sense for the context of the PSA.
