Documentary Video


Bethel's Volleyball Team video from Jessica Palmer on Vimeo.

  1. Audio cuts a bit rough at the beginning, and there is some noise in the background that is a bit distracting, like the loud bang. Lack of music made the interviews a bit empty to me, I feel some music akin to the intro music would be great. Also did you get permission to use that song? All in all not a bad topic given your situation and the people had some good things to say.

  2. I liked the intro and the part where we walked into the gym. I think there could have been more b-roll and better transitions. The transitions on video and audio were really distracting. A soft music in the background could have helped too

  3. The documentary was really well done. I know you guys had trouble with the audio, but it was only distracting in the gym when there's a lot of ambient noise that was competing with each other. Otherwise, well done!

  4. I liked the B-roll and the clips of the interviews! Some of the edits were jump cuts but other than that it flowed nicely together!

  5. I think you did a good job of making this into an interesting story. The shots got a little distracting when you were following the volleyball around as they were playing. It also would have been nice to let us know somewhere in the video who the 3 girls were that you interviewed. I would have loved a more upbeat music selection as well. Overall great job, and way to roll with the punches and change topics!

  6. I like your choice to interview all three players together. It worked well. The addition of the ambient crowd noise, although a but rough, was a great choice. Good work.

  7. Good b-roll. You needed better transitions between sound bites. I wish the girls you interviewed had been dressed in their athletic uniforms.

  8. There are a lot of good sound bites in this video. The title at the beginning was done nicely. I wish there were better transitions visually and in the audio as well, especially with the music at the beginning and the end. But great job for having to change last minute!

  9. Cuts need to be closer together. I saw a lot of black screen in between. Also there is a lot of head space during interviews.

  10. There was a lot of headroom on the interviewees. For the three seniors, you could have gotten a little tighter if you interviewed them separately and threw in a lower third of their names for each of them.

  11. The team did a great job annunciating and a great job as interviewees. I feel like some of the clips could have had the audio muted or lowered and there were alot of cuts that weren't as smooth as they could have been.

  12. The shots were so good! I love the lighting and the coverage of b roll

  13. I liked the story you told about the team and their relationship to each other and their coach. You could tell almost all the footage was hand held and some parts didn't bother me but some was distracting. You did a good job especially for having to change topics.
