  • Competition Comment: It's nice to see when a green screen is used throughout an entry and not just for a few seconds. And when it's used as a background for a newscast, it's nice to see when it's used creatively and not just as a plain background decoration that doesn't have much to do with the stories/presentation. Always watch out for quality of audio (use mics correctly...for example, lavaliers should be used as handhelds), camerawork (use tripods!), and editing (watch out for jump cuts) in entries too; those can be factors when things are tied in evaluating the main criteria. Also make sure you're following copyright law, and if you use copyrighted material, be sure to explain why you think that's okay in the entry form.
