- 4/24 9:56 pm - Fun piece. You can tell the students enjoyed creating this. Fun use of whip shots at the beginning. It felt like a short film that was acting as a promo. Creative way to "get the word out" about the course and for students to get an inside look. One other thing...I don't believe the audio is centered for all shots. At points I heard some voices in just the left or right channel. Maybe this was intended for panning purposes but you still need some audio in the other channel.
- 3/4 12:46 pm - POSITIVES: Great idea that definitely captures "The Office" feel. Good shot variety that includes a number of locations. Good writing, and your Story holds together throughout, and your "characters" really come through. Spinning camera on the tripod works well as an opening that's engaging. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: You mostly hit your marks on the camera spin, except for the last stop @:21 Opening credits are solid, but where's the name of your "SHOW" following their names? Really poor lighting @:57-- SHOOT test footage for all of your locations ahead of time to avoid this.

Positives: I love the natural sound. The clicking of the camera moving around is great. The introduction is lit and shot really well. Super creative! Overall I like that this promotional video has a strong narrative.
Improvements: Some of the shots were just a touch dark, like the one on the classroom sign or the one where the student says, "Hi, welcome to GBN broadcasting." A few of the "confessional" style shots (mostly the girls) had too much headroom.
Judge 2
Positives: Very clever promo for your program. I like how you had a couple of gags to open with, added some funny drama to illustrate what you do, and tied it up referring back to the intro gags.
Improvements: Sound seemed a little out of sync. Finding the SD card as part of the closing would have really tied things up nicely with a good laugh.

Positives: The student delivered an excellent presentation that effectively combined multiple elements. The storytelling was compelling, and their promotion of the club was well-executed. I particularly enjoyed their creative use of impromptu, SNL-style handheld camera work, which added an engaging element of spontaneity. Overall, the story was both effective and entertaining.
Improvements: Technical issues impacted the overall quality. The audio levels were inconsistent throughout the piece, with noticeable fluctuations. The lighting needed improvement in few scenes, appearing either too dark or unevenly lit. While some interview shots were crisp and well-composed, others suffered from focus problems that detracted from the professional quality of the piece. The student should address technical inconsistencies for future projects.
