Positives: The video was genuinely funny—comedy is incredibly hard to pull off, and you nailed the timing and delivery. I loved your editing and production design with the watch as well. Great attention to details and you keep the laughs coming even through the credits.

Improvements: One small note: the final shot could benefit from being held just a few seconds longer to really let the last moment land and give the audience time to laugh or react. Overhead lighting is also tough but I think you make it work-- just watch shadows over the eyes.

Positives: I like the cough scene I think it is a creative part of the story telling process. There are some good edits and camera shots in this video, and you do a good job of keeping the pace of the film moving.

Improvements: Some of the lighting an shots are dark. Try to work on getting more lighting in opening scenes. The music and sound effects come in loud, and are abrupt on the out. It battles the dialogue as well. I am not sure I understand the reason behind the music that you use, is there one? It does seem like a quick end, there could be more to remove him from the love of Terry.

Judge 3

Positives: The narrative was direct and to the point, clear to understand and follow. Between the camera angles and well-timed edits, the dialog scenes flowed naturally. The use of 9x16 social media ratios was realistic and helped the viewer understand the social media component of the story.

Improvements: The dialog audio was clear and easy to understand however, when the speaker was moving, there was distortion and rustling sounds coming through. The audio could have benefitted from using a denoiser effect. The lighting could have been used to help convey the emotion and support the overall story.
