  • 4/27 8:12 pm - 0:21 - less profile, more 3/4 positioning of her head (tripod). 2:38 - don't shoot at light/windows, it's hurting exposure of her face. Many of the b-roll shots of her and kids were too tight, not enough variety of wide/medium/tight. I learned much I never knew about the subject. Thanks!
  • 4/26 7:29 am - Good story. Nice footage and pictures for cutaways. It could use some motion on the still pictures. Cuts in Ms Comer's interview seem a little too tight. Sometimes it's hard to find a breath where you need to make a cut.
