- 4/16 10:17 am - Lots of jump cuts—start with a two-shot, then alternate singles to smooth it out. Audio needs work; background noise makes it feel like you're in a hallway. Use a shared mic if lavs aren’t available. The greenscreen is a bit rough, and the mic was visible in one segment—use it consistently and cleanly. The bobblehead bit was creative but lacked a clear ending. Introduce new stories clearly—sudden switches are confusing. Add more camera angles and dive into unique, well-told stories to keep viewers engaged. Lots of potential!
- 3/3 7:14 am - A lot of jump cuts. Try having the two shot at the beginning and then doing single shots with each story, alternating back and forth to hide the cuts. Try to figure out a way to mic your anchors. We hear a lot of background noise like you are in the hallway. If you can’t get lavaliers for each anchor, at least get a handheld mic on a stand and put it between them. Nice segments at the end. Have some sort of a segue or introduction for the second story. I was confused at first when I thought the topic changed, but I wasn’t sure.
- 3/1 10:19 pm - Audio is very rough, overmodulated, lots of background noise. Greenscreen key is a bit messy. I appreciate the creative use of the bobblehead, I was waiting for the culmination of his journey, but then it just kind of ended. we get a whole 2 minutes in until we cut to a different shot of anything, you will lose interest fast that way. Let get to the packages and unique stories. 1. Tell unique stories 2. I see the mic in the food pack, use those every time. 3. Lets see some more angles.
