Your group's SAPSA had a good intro that easily segued into your larger objective, setting up well for the video's narrative. The historical background you provided was interesting and gave good context to badminton as the sport it is today. I would suggest balancing the length of time the historical background takes up with your analysis. Seeing as your group plans to include interviews, this should not be a problem in your final video. You did a good job of directly stating the purpose of your video, but I would go more in depth about why people would not want to watch a sport dominated by Asians--what is it that turns them away specifically? Are we seen as foreign, or is the sport not interesting, is it not "the cool thing to watch" etc., and why that is. As of now, it's sort of been set up as a standing question with no resolution or further analysis. Your objective was pretty clear, but without your description, I would not have been able to collect all the information you've presented into a coherent conclusion. Overall, your video has smooth transitions, an interesting premise, good b-rolls, and a good framework. I'm excited to see how the final product turns out!
Your topic is very original and quite intriguing! I've always wondered why badminton is less popular in the US, and I'm curious to see Asian Americans' roll in the sport. I think your clips from various badminton games were really effective, I especially enjoyed your shots from matches at Davis! Although I know your video is a work in progress, I think adding more images or videos to go along with your historical background would be more effective in driving home your point. ~2:00 is a good example matching the audio to the visuals; seeing them together allowed me to process the narration faster. Near the end of the video is where I was having trouble keeping up with the narration while paying attention to the visuals. It's much easier to take in historical information when you have complimenting images to go along with them. Also, it would be interesting to see an Asian American badminton player's opinion on this topic, maybe you could ask a Davis team member for an interview. I would also suggest adding some quiet background music behind your narration. This would give the video a more cinematic and polished feel. I would agree with Charlene that your objective wasn't super clear, but I could see that you were almost reaching it. Why exactly do people not want to see Asian Americans in sports? Overall I really enjoyed your video and wish you the best of luck!
