Episode 308 Review

I feel Episode 308 went very well because of the transitions. I really felt the time between segments was smooth. Starting off with the Novembeard segment was a very good way to start off the show. The interview portion lasted a bit long, but having pictures of beards with background music was great. It was very easy to maintain interest in the segment. The Lake Shore Drive transition after that was the best part of the show in my opinion. It was quick, cool to see, and served as a perfect transition between segments. After that, the segments I think were especially well done were: Damien Drake, sports, The Classroom, and the She Kills Monsters ad. I especially liked the She Kills Monsters Ad, it felt like a real TV show for a second. It's unfortunate our class didn't even do it. And as always for sports, the visuals were great, making it a very good segment.

I agree with the class' negative feedback on the hosts. All the slapping and throwing the soccer ball at Jennifer's head was completely unnecessary, and we're lucky for not getting in trouble for it. Also, a swear word had to be edited out. The hosts obviously need to be funny and entertaining, but also professional, and they were not in this past episode. As for First World Problems, I'm stuck in between on my opinion. I was not offended by it, and I do understand the concept behind it. However, I definitely understand the negative feedback behind it. It is an issue to draw comparisons between our lives and third world lives. In the segment, it perceives a Whitney Young student to be "better" than a poor third world person. The bigger issue however, is that it did not bring attention to a specific cause. It brings attention to the fact that there are bigger problems than first world problems, but it needs to benefit something. The segment does not give back to any organization, so it is just comparing a first world life vs. a third world life, which is why it's offensive.

My role was completing the credits. I also made a cameo in Damien Drake.

Episode 307 Review

Episode 307 had some strong ideas, but I think it appeared to be rushed. I did not like how the hosts did not have longer transitions between segments. I was not bothered by the lack of an ending from the hosts, but I think the hosts need to have more talking points between segments. I still agree with most of the class that the Tutor should be taken out as it is confusing and I feel like the plot line isn't going anywhere.

I did like the sports this week as usual. The coverage was strong, but as I've mentioned many times before, the entusiasm is still not present.

As of now, I think ideas are rushed and not polished. This was evident in Novembeard and First World Problems. The ideas are there, but the editing sometimes messes up the initial plan.

My role was participating in the production of Novembeard and First World Problems, although it ultimately got cut.

WYDubTV Episode 306 Review

This week's show was the best so far. Almost all of the content was great, and the transitions were much better. I felt like the hosts transitioned between each of the segments quickly and effectively, making the the show run smoothly. The only parts of the show that were a bit of a drag were the "Emoji of the week" segment, and the opening SNL type segment. The emoji segment made sense, but the opening segment didn't really fit smoothly in the rest of the show.

For upside, the two shows: Hallway Patrol and The Classroom were amazing. Last week, I said we should stop adding shows, but Hallway Patrol definitely changed my mind, it was hilarious. I know we got feedback that the bleeps shouldn't have been in there, but I think that was the single funniest part of the show. Also, the classroom continues to be very entertaining. Finally, the Novembeard segment was very funny and relayed the message that WY needs a new field.

Role: I contributed and was a character in Novembeard segment. I was a participant in the football scenes of the Novembeard segment, and I helped organize other filming scenes on Novembeard.
