Two of the groups did excellent and innovative work. The process and the product was amazing. One of the groups was able to prepare a project, but the final product would need more work in terms of balance between background music and voice. The fourth group finished their tutorial, but the lack of work in the script and Strip Design phase made it too long and unfocused..
