  • 4/16 1:34 pm - Remember that in this category music beds are not permitted. The purpose of this category is to use the natural audio from the b-roll to help tell the story. There was no natural audio from any of the b-roll clips in this story. Lose the music and let the interview tell the story with the natural audio clips weaved in. Mic her up and follow her around for a class period or 2. Then use that natural audio to help tell the story and move it forward.
  • 3/6 2:28 pm - This was a very powerful story and I love how you structured the interview to have clear message at the end about "being perfect the way you are." I would raise the exposure a tiny bit on the interview shot as your subject, Megan, looks a little dark. I also loved the personal photos incorporated throughout. However, I think this interview would be better suited for the documentary category as there was not natural audio sounds in this story. This category also does not allow music tracks to be edited in. I would encourage you to continue to expand on this story as it carries a very important message that a lot of students can relate to.
