  • 4/25 8:26 pm - I thought this was very cleverly done and stayed true to being a documentary. I thought it was cool how she walked us through the process and how lively and fun you kept this piece. Very well done!
  • 4/24 1:41 pm - + Good interview composition +Like that you are using a b-cam! +Main interviewee has lots of energy which is great -Audio is very hissy -This seems more like a reality show and not a documentary
  • 4/22 3:18 pm - Your audio is really challenging to listen to- a lot of background feedback that is really distracting. This feels like a reality show more than a documentary based on the jumpy interviews. Great job capturing so much footage to help make the story work.
  • 3/5 1:59 pm - Positives: Fun use of retiming in the opening; great idea showing the inner dialogue sharing the concerns about the performance; story really explores what her journey felt like. Areas for improvement: Dramatic interpretation doesn't match the following clip--confusing; Uneven audio--some interview footage needed a wired lav to improve the quality
