DELIVERY: Very good. Clear and easy to understand. Good energy. Great location for stand up.

INTERVIEWS: Need to introduce the people you are interviewing.

ORIGINALITY: Great story idea.

WRITING: Good. Colorful writing. Nice job leading into the sound bites.

VIDEO: Very good action shots.

AUDIO: Good use of natural sound, but it was a little too loud on the stand up.

EDITING: Great open.

OVERALL: Story is too long. Must be 50 seconds to fit into our broadcast schedule. If it is a second short we can use the b roll pad to make it the correct length but we can't do anything to adjust the story being too long

DELIVERY: Very good. Nice energy and inflection. Nice location for stand up.

INTERVIEWS: Need to introduce your sound bites. We can guess who they were but story flows better when you tell who is speaking. First sound bite was great! Last sound bite didn't seem to tie into the story. There was no lead in to explain that the disease doesn't only effect women.

ORIGINALITY: Great community service story.

WRITING: Nice descriptive writing.

VIDEO: Nice shots.

AUDIO: Good natural sound. Woman's sound bite was too low.

EDITING: Nice job matching video to script. - OVERALL: Story is too long. Must be 50 seconds to fit into our broadcast schedule. If it is a second short we can use the b roll pad to make it the correct length but we can't do anything to adjust the story being too long. Good topic for a story. Nice job getting action footage and enthusiastic. Re-write to shorten to correct length and introduce your sound bites.
