Test shots
I wanted to showcase teens / students all studying and doing something as a way of an introduction to making my storyboard frames into reality. i thought this was a great way to start as it is the easier route as it was shot in school.

To add on, in my test shot i included a photo of them both running as i felt like it was a great instance of play and how it looks like for childern.
Feedback from my peers - (summarized by AI)
Overall, the feedback praises the video’s strong cinematography, engaging pacing, and well-matched voice-over and visuals that effectively create a documentary feel. Viewers appreciate the clear use of captions, dynamic camera angles, and thoughtful editing that keeps the audience interested. However, several comments highlight that the background music is consistently too loud, often overpowering the voice-over and making parts of the dialogue difficult to understand. While the visuals and tone are well received, suggestions focus on balancing audio levels and revisiting the narrative link to “hustle culture” for stronger thematic coherence.
