Cinematography

~ Lacking a variety of shots
Mise-en-scene

~ Visit more town areas

~ Use a variety of locations
Lighting
~ You can’t see the person as the light is too much in the person face.
~ Lighting could be brighter
Sound
~ could hear background noise such as noise of cars
~ Microphone needs to be away from the person as the sound is not so good
Conventions/matching audience?
~ Interview more educated people

Suggestions and ideas:
What else would you (or the target audience) like to see in this production? (scenes? sequences?)
~ A montage sequence; a range of opinions form all ethnicities, voice over and cut up footage into sections.
~ More interviews of a professional and maybe having archive footage in the documentary may be good.
Suggestions for post-production/editing (music? voiceover? cutaways? montage? cross cutting? titles? slo-mo?)
~ Include some sad/emotional songs to shows this is an emotional subject.

~ Have a female voiceover as it will challenge the stereotype and will look professional.
