  • 4/23 7:57 pm - I like that you chose a unique topic to your community to highlight. I second the comments below and do not want to be redundant. I think you could have done without the montage intro and had the montage as b-roll with Madame Behlow. This piece needs the group in action and lacks original b-roll. What does this group do to prove 'Friday's for Our Future?' If you are an underclassman, keep making pieces. If you are a senior, I wish you the best in your future and congratulations!
  • 3/16 8:23 pm - Until your transition at 30 seconds I thought this was a story/biography and Gretta Thuneberg, not the impact she has had at your school. Of course I understand she is the reason behind Friday’s for Our Future, but it took spent so much time setting it up that as an audience you had me guessing what is the story really about? Thought your b roll did a great job supporting what you were saying throughout the piece (with the exception of the one at 48 seconds, I kept waiting for her to do something for the environment as opposed to just walking down the hall). I feel like your story has a really good flow to it, each interview adds something more to the story, and each interview isn’t on longer than it should be. I love that you aren’t just reporting what is happening, but your story makes it real for the viewer (how it affects them) and what they can do to make a difference. The end seemed like something didn’t go the way you wanted, I heard the narrator and Gretta talking at the same time, and then just Gretta cut out. Not a big deal, just double check your work from start to finish. I thought once the story got off of Gretta, and more about your school and what it was going on it got better. I appreciate you setting it up for your audience, so many students just jump into their story without getting your audience caught up, you did the opposite, which is an easy problem to fix.
