Episode 311 Review

I thought 311 was a great show. To start off, I liked that the Hallway Patrol was finally back. This episode was funny and entertaining again. I think it wasn't as funny as the first one, but was still very entertaining. The zombies were a weird touch. Also, of course I loved the Trixzzz Squad. I will always promote it because it is my segment. We will definitely continue to do more shows with new shots. Also, we have a Twitter page and a YouTube channel.

Now for the downs of the show. I did not like the Beacon as the first time, so as you could guess, I did not like it. I think a Beacon commercial could have been done to cater more to specific parts of the Beacon. For example, they could have writers from the Beacon promoting the newest edition. Also, I know it is their personality, but the hosts were a bit over the top. It was sometimes entertaining, but their jokes and other antics were a bit wild. Other than that, the show was great.

For this show, I completed the credits and I was a member of the Trixzzz Squad segment.

Episode 310 Review

This show was much better. The hosts were entertaining and the segment I was in: Trikzz Squad, were both great. Also done well was the Lost and Found segment, except it went a bit long. The transitions between segments were good thanks to the hosts.

Sports was not good this week because of the sound. The background music and quiet audio ruined the content and made it hard to pay attention. And as always, the tutor was long and boring and should be taken out.



My role in the show was participating in and editing the Trikzzz Squad segment.

Episode 309 Review

Well Episode 309 is in the running for worst show of the year. I think the segments were too choppy and not strung together. Also, I feel it just lacked creativity, and some attention to detail would have helped. Overall, there needed to be a highlight of the show. Normally this is "The Classroom" or some other large segment, but there was no highlight of this show. I'm sure everyone thinks their segment is the best, but the show should build up to a major highlight. Instead this show was a lot of mini-segments.

Finish the Lyrics was a good and creative segment. It was entertaining and a good way to start the show. One minor detail that was missed however was the title of the song, it was not listed in the segment. Otherwise, the segment was a very fresh idea. The only other strong point to me was the hosts. They were interesting and clever, and were a strong transition between segments.

Now for the cons in the show. As I mentioned before, the show lacked pop and creativity. "Snapchat of the Week" was necessary, but not new. Mobile ID was nothing new. The basketball ad was a good idea, but was a bit too long. The Beacon ad was needed to advertise for the Beacon, but it had no creativity. Voicing over a movie scene does not show any talent on our part. And I understand people spend time on creating it, but "The Tutor" needs some major changes or just needs to go. I haven't talked to one person who likes "The Tutor." It is always too long. It is not consistent, they changed the tutor without any explanation. There is either very choppy "in and out" background music, or there is not background music. Also, the filming focuses too long on one shot. "The Classroom" does a much better job cutting between scenes.

I did not actively contribute to this show, as I was working on an ongoing project for multiple "Trick Shot" segments.
