  • 4/28 9:04 pm - +Good job focusing on a current topic, interesting perspective on the broader topic -Use the rule of thirds when composing interview shots, too much head room in interviews, needing more variety of b-roll. Mostly shots from the news.
  • 4/11 2:29 pm - KEEPERS: Really well done overall. The use of news footage juxtaposed with three individual voices from different aspects of the immigration landscape really helps to create a clear picture of the issue at large. The interviews were very well produced and edited and the story felt very complete in terms of how you produced it. Considering how volatile this issue is, I thought it was produced and portrayed in a way that didn't feel overly editorialized in any one direction. That takes a lot of maturity and even restraint on the part of the producers. IMPROVEMENTS: Continue to work on filming more broll on your own to round out all of the news footage. The news footage is effective but more broll needed to be produced. This is a sensitive subject so I can understand if people being discussed don't want to be filmed. So film other things. Film exterior shots of closed businesses, emptier streets, empty classrooms, exterior shots of schools, schools gettin out police cars, etc. You needed more visuals that were produced specifically for this piece. Overall, good work. Keep telling stories!
