Review This Film
Be a Critic Every film here was made by a student who took a risk. Your job is to engage with it seriously — rate the craft, write something honest, and mean it. Scores are blind until all reviewers are in. Nobody sees anything until everyone has spoken. That's the deal.

The Verdict Every score you see here was written without anyone knowing what the others would say. No groupthink. No piling on. Five independent voices, revealed all at once. Read the reviews, not just the numbers — that's where the real feedback lives.

I love the idea you've taken here. Doing a PSA with just using stills. It's effective and it actually worked quite well. So, why did it work? Because you took the time to add nicely formatted text and facts that pushed your message forward, you chose the right music and you added some VERY effective sound effects. Nice work.

Nice work here. The story you told even though the story is information for a PSA, was very effective. You had me emotionally involved in the message even though you were just using photographs. I was right here with you emotionally. Great use of a black screen. Great facts that really gave me the information I needed. Very simple but effective. Nice job.

Great job. I was surprised at the simplicity of the PSA yet the effectiveness of it. You gave me a new outlook on PSA's and how they can be super simple yet still very effective. Nice use of sound design with the music you chose and the added sound effects. It wouldn't have been the same without it. Good Job.

I think your PSA is something that we don't hear much about but it's a powerful one when the sound effects come up and you make the audience realize that it's their life they're playing with. Well done. I think you could have shot your own footage for the spot, but it's still very effective. There aren't any actors in the piece so that probably hurt you a bit since I wasn't able to give any points for acting.

The writing was pretty decent on this project but nearly all of the images were stock photos. This challenge was all about cinematography and this spot had very little of that. I can tell that the writer did a bit of research and crafted a pretty decent script but the team didn't spend much time turning that script into visuals.
