Include insightful, fully written comments like, “I thought Matt’s group used parallel time flow very effectively. The cuts back and forth during the scene were very well edited and timed out very well. I also thought the music in the first scene fit the video. It was a good choice for that portion of the video. Etc…….” Other comments might include, some thoughtful criticisms like: “I thought the part when walked in could have had music. It was a little to quite during the scene when he was walking down the hall and into the classroom.” Etc… Your are trying to help each group out and give them thoughts and ideas that may help them in their future projects. Please be respectful and helpful in your comments.

 * Example: I thought the final outcome came out better than I expected. The use of parallel time flow really worked in the first part of the project. I thought our camera shots were excellent in…. etc… The scene in the ___ room should have been reshot. We should have taken the time to fix that one scene and the project would have been much better…..
