  • 4/25 11:12 am - You did a great job with the pacing and edit of the video. The audio is mixed well as you transition to different songs and natural audio. I enjoyed the rehearsal footage of the play which gives the viewer a glimpse at the work that is put into the performances. Overall, this works as a good social media promo for the play!
  • 4/24 8:54 pm - STORY: Overall, this is a well planned promo for the play at your school. However, I do think with the specific substance in your video and the length of your video, it would work better as a horizontal video rather than vertical. Was this intentionally made for social media? If so, make a festival version that is horizontal! SOUND: I think you did a great job mixing your music bed with the sound from the overall performance! CAMERA: You used a variety of different shots and angles. I appreciate the mix between close ups and medium to wide shots. It adds a nice touch! LIGHTING: Great use of lighting in the setting that you filmed! EDITING: I think you did a great job with pacing overall! I think the cuts to the beat of the song also work very well! I do feel like some shots were too short on screen specifically at 0:24-0:28. I think your intention was to cut to the beat of the music as well as the performance, however, it was hard to process what was being shown in these shots.
