  • 4/25 8:18 pm - Solid story. Interview shot gets repetitive at times. Just needs more visual development.
  • 4/22 3:11 pm - Great doc subject, but I didn't feel like we were able to understand her whole story without the visuals to support it through pictures or video. The subtitles were very quick at times and hard to keep up with under the broll. The different background sounds are really distracting. Would love to see a lot more of her art and her process as broll to cover the jump cuts.
  • 4/20 2:05 pm - +Interesting story. -You could use a tripod for some of your shots at the beginning. The camera is shaky -cover jump cuts with b-roll -If you are going to only focus on one interviewee I would suggest doing a two camera shoot which would allow you to cut between the two cameras -Lack of b-roll
  • 3/5 1:41 pm - She has a very interesting story-- nice choice. Areas for improvement: Jump cuts are very distracting; needed more B-roll of her working with the materials or looking at her work to cover the jump cuts. Subtitles need a consistent location, and could be a little bigger to make the reading easier.
