Recycled, Reproduced News Critiques and Suggestions

Critiques
- Groovy music clashes with depressing news and makes news hard to hear.
- Not a lot of eye contact with camera/virtual audience.
- Little emotion, voice variation.
- Sounds too "read off script" to interest the viewer.
- Sitting down causes slouching.
- Filmed too close up.
- It's boring.

Suggestions
- Not everyone should go each week; otherwise it sounds like a list.
- Better preparation.
- Don't read off script. Tell the story in our own words.
- Get a tripod for the camera.
- More interactive; two speakers having a dialogue or an interview-style might make it more interesting.
- Better background/set up.
- Better lighting is needed.
- More enthusiasm/excitement.
- Better enunciation (slower and clearer, pausing between thoughts).
- Facial expressions needed.
- Less background noise.
- Better entrance and closing; more time needed between clips.
- I think that we need to better propose what we are doing and what purpose we want it serve.
