Final Crit Notes- Noah Schardt

Lily

Works: The lighting shots with the shadows were really cool!

Doesn’t: I didn’t like the long talking clips.

Gabby

Works: I enjoyed the lack of voiceover.

Doesn’t: I didn’t like the lack of all sound.

Murro

Works: The sounds along with the different mediums worked and how they changed intensity.

Doesn’t: I wish the perspective changed instead of just being the same.

Aileena

Works: 360 experience, SO cool especially on the phone.

Doesn’t: Viewing it on the laptop doesn’t work as well.

Chrystian

Works: The mechanics and the concept were really cool.

Doesn’t: Not necessarily that it doesn’t work, just that it is a hard level that doesn’t make sense for newcomers.

Nikayla

Works: I enjoyed the lack of voiceover or any lines.

Doesn’t: I didn’t like the over the shoulder angle.

Antonia

Works: Close ups and sound effects. The cat!

Doesn’t: I wish there was audio or music.

Tyler

Works: The projection was awesome.

Doesn’t: The shakiness irked me a little.

Bekzod

Didn’t: The font was a little hard to read.

Sid

Works: The design of the animations are really good.

Didn’t: The speed was off a little bit and/or needed a strobe light to see it better? 

Gaige

Works: The sound effects for each stage were really good.

Didn’t: The shakiness of some shots  as opposed to others.

Nada

Works: The interactivity works really well.

Didn’t: Rules needed a little more explaining.

Kayla

Works: The ambiance and sound effects worked really well.

Didn’t: Posters being photos is a little off because it doesn’t match the rest.

Works: The lighting and ambiance worked well.
Didn’t: The constant stepping noise even with no movement.

  • My favorite part was the eyeshadow blending. It was very satisfying to watch.
  • If I had to edit something I would have liked to see maybe different angles.
  • The pacing was incredibly fast but it absolutely worked.

  • The only rule that wasn’t entirely followed was that the shaving cream wasn’t the stick too.
  • My favorite part was the scene where she was eating. I liked the view from above
  • I would have only changed the aspect ratio to horizontal to showcase more of the environment.
  • It was paced very well and nothing felt too short or long to me.

  • The only thing I would edit would be making the voiceover clearer.

Murrow Gill Video

  • The rules were followed great!
  • My favorite part was it being themed around a cat. 
  • I would edit some shots to be a little brighter as some parts were too dark to really see any details.
  • It was paced well, just would have liked the word cards to be shown a little longer.

Lily Clifford Video

  • Rules were followed effectively
  • My favorite part was the bathroom scene with the faucet. I loved that you made it into a statement about struggling with OCD. It was a painfully accurate representation.
  • I would just edit the 360 shots so they weren’t cut off on the sides.
  • The video was paced well, I just found the car scene to be a little long.

Antonia Valeri Video

  • I think the rules were followed very well. 
  • My favorite part was when “the imperfect human” spoke. It felt more real if that makes sense. I loved the messaging behind it.
  • I would change the font size to be a little bigger as it was a little hard to read. 
  • I found the pacing to be very good for the video.

  • Only rules I feel could’ve been followed more were everything being in black and white and showing the lower body as little as possible. 
  • My favorite part was the mogging. That was funny to me.
  • I would change some of the editing as I already stated. 
  • I think it was paced well, it just needed to have a little longer to read some of the text.

Ethan Bookbinder Video

  • Rules were followed amazingly. The analog horror theme fits PERFECTLY with these rules.
  • My favorite park was the skinamarink-esque faceless scene. 
  • I would just add more and make it longer.
  • It was paced pretty quickly, but I don’t find that to be a problem with the horror theme.

Gabriella Thomas  Video

  • The rules were followed pretty well!
  • My favorite part was the chair scene with all of the thinking dialogue.
  • If I had to change something I would add quiet music to the background.
  • It was paced very nicely!
