4D Final Feedback: 

Lily:

• What works: Using light as a prop, the sound effects
• What I would do: Better audio (more clear and loud)

Gabby: 

• What works: Variety of shots and settings
• What I would do: Add music or focus more on the sounds. Also add some sort of indicator on what the story is

Murrow:

• What works: Sound effects!!! And story
• What I would do: Work on camera movement and materials

Alieena: 

• What works: The speed changing and light experience, the 360 interactive experience 
• What I would change: Make it into a shot sequence for presentation purposes and story purposes, add music to heighten emotional feel (but do keep revving and things like that) 

Chrystian: 

• What works: Color scheme and grey pads/platforms work well for the PGH feel, definitely entertaining and something I would play in middle school
• What I would do: UI when controls pop up (background could be blurred for easier reading) maybe add a learning mode

Nikayla:

• What works: Camera movement following subject, crossfaded clock, story is fitting and relatable
• What I would do: Make the opening blackboard thing shorter, get different angles from where subject is sitting

Antonia:

• What works: Very humorous
• What I would do: Make it horizontal, better editing 

Ethan: 

• What works: Frame speed, lighting
• What I would do: Work with the cropping (it felt weird), maybe a black background?

Tyler: 

• What works: Game works well and stopmotion really tapped into that with the graphics
• What I would do: Would crop better, get a tripod because it was shaky

Bedzok: 

• What works: Making us actually scroll was super interactive and worked with the point of the story
• What I would do: Make this into a stop motion and have that on the instagram (but keep the photos 

Saomi: 

• What works: Editing is very smooth, makes sense, aesthetically pleasing 
• What I would do: Maybe make it quieter

Sidney: 

• What works: Spinning it, showing the “experiment” 
• What I would do: Add more shots, close up of the movement and subjects 

Noah: 

• What works: The mix on animation and real life (being shown on tv) and animation helping cook 
• What I would do: Maybe some foley work/sound effects 

Gaige: 

• What works: The animation art style, black and white to color 
• What I would do: I would make the person in the animation do the adobe messed up, and then have him dance and then switch to irl person dancing, sound levels 

Jana: 

• What works: Its interactive and luck based (it fits that) 
• What I would do: The negative and positive confuses me a bit. Maybe having the cards more random, maybe have them be like tarot cards and you pick the number, flip the card and your fortune is there

Kayla: 

• What works: I like the message and the animation is good, loved the flicker
• What I would do: I would love to see more 

Gavin: 

• What works: The story, narrative game type of perspective (the hand is like granny or roblox if you know what I mean)
• What I would do: Footsteps are pretty sporadic and don’t seem accurate, maybe add some tense music
