Other performances are a little weaker in terms of expression ( casting but good for costume for Rocky character .  . Biggest issue here is setting : a boxing ring would be challenging but actually a multi-storey car park might of recreated this scene nicely . . In terms of editing and audio , continuity and music are EBIs (suddenly coming in then disappearing ) 2) Type up a summary of the feedback you have had from the rest of the class - bullet points is fine. WWW: .Good acting  .Good props  EBI : .Improve lighting  .Improve audio editing  3) Use all the feedback you've been given to write your own self-assessment of your video using WWW (What Went Well) and EBI (Even Better If...)
