Honourable Mentions

8.C.2 - by Trinh V from Midpark High School, USATitle of Video:Changing Lives through Social Entrepreneurship

2.E.2 by HannahL from River East Collegiate, CanadaTitle of Video:How the world wide web has changed the world

Third Place – x 2 3.A.1 Workflow Software By Jennifer D from Don

Mills Collegiate Institute, USA

Judges comment:I really enjoyed your approach to this topic. It was creative and interesting. I could tell by the video you had enjoyed working on it and creating it. Using your own produced video clips enabled you to more in control of what your message was. It showed how Workflow is used internationally. This topic could have been a bit boring but you were able to create interest. The smiles of everyone on the video clips created a sense of happiness. You told a very good and effective story and then brought it all together with smooth transitions. Good job - keep creating.Teacher: Bruce Forsythe

Second Place

10.C.2 – Social Entrepreneurs Give Hope to Invisible Children By Kelsy L Saucon Valley High School, USA

Judges comment:A very effective video presentation. The opening video clip is powerful and sets the tone for the seriousness of the situation. The music that was used in this section was excellent. The level was very good but more importantly the music created a bit of an unsettling mood. You told a good story. You had a message, delivered the message and created emotion in the listener. Good job!!! Teacher: Jessica Friday

FIRST PLACEThe Flat Classroom Project 2013-1 overall

winner

Judges Comment:This video was a joy to listen to and watch. The opening sequence with the young boy was excellent and gave a wonderful punch to the beginning of the video

Background Music: The music choices were excellent. Each piece of music definitely went with the section of the video where it was used. I really liked it when you occasional just stopped the music and you could only here the speaker. It certainly added emphasis to the message. The music set the tone as you moved from point to point.

Voice over - the speaking voice was very good and definitely implied passion for the topic. The change in volume and emphasis was excellent. The script was well written and spoke directly to the message you wanted the viewer to grasp.

I found the video to me very emotional. It grabbed my interest at the very beginning with the young boy and then I was "hooked" and emotionally bought into the topic.

You told an excellent story and you should definitely continue creating in this manner.

The Winner is…….
