Constructive: Some volume levels could be adjusted. Try to make the voice overs sound a little less like you are reading them.

Chelsea

Positive: The interview volume was good, there was nice framing as well.

Constructive: You should be promoting more good experiences, the voice overs could sound a little less read.

Positive: There is good B roll and the first interview was very well done.

Constructive: You do not have to introduce every interviewee in your voice-overs.

Reflection: What I noticed that needs to be improved most is the quality of footage and framing. The sound should be balanced throughout the entire video. Some of the videos seemed a little "cut-off" so they could've met longer requirements.
