Town: Canterbury
Slug: "L.A.M."
Status: Broadcast
Length: 50

DELIVERY: Great job. Reporter added emotion to the story.

INTERVIEWS: There was only a short sound bite from the woman suffering from L.A.M. An interview with one of her students would have added to the story.

ORIGINALITY: Good story choice.

WRITING: Good but the story would have been stronger if the writing had been a little more focused. "Days like these make her think of brighter days" was a good line but didn't go with story since you are talking about her being positive and overcoming her problem.

VIDEO: Good action shots of her teaching. Nice job getting a variety of shots. The shots in her living room were very dark.

AUDIO: Good. It would have added to the story to have natural sound during the basketball shots.

EDITING: No issues. The story flowed well.

OVERALL: Great topic. Nice job getting a lot of shots. Next time work on the story organization.
