LULING, LA – I reviewed segments of our last two games, Slidell vs. Destrehan and Brother Martin vs. Hahnville. In the directing/switching perspective, the most brief way I can summarize what our team needs to improve on is shot variety and control. There would be many times when one shot was just left up too long or one was cut off way after that shot was finished, so trying to include more variety in what shots are directed and switched to is important. Within this, future directors should also try and take more control over their shots. By this, I mean that there were many times when a shot should’ve been zoomed in or looked off alongside the graphic, and in those situations the director needs to take control and tell the camera people what to do in order to fix those shots. To end on some positive notes, I did see in the Brother Martin vs. Hahnville game a few instances where this is majorly improved, especially the switches before, during, and after plays added a good variety and followed the format Mr. Robinson advised us to follow (wide shot, tight shot, tight/replay). There were also many attempts in this game to get unique shots, like the ones on the line of scrimmage from the wireless camera, and though they didn’t always come out perfectly, they were much more enjoyable to watch then just single “safe” shots, and when they did work, they worked very well. All in all, our team has things to work on with directing/switching, but most of it is very nit-picky things which an average viewer wouldn’t notice.
