Constructive Criticism:
Cinematography

~ (same as above)
Mise-en-scene

Lighting

~ (same as above)

~ Microphone needs to be far from the person speaking
Conventions/matching audience?
~ Interview more teenage people

Suggestions and ideas:
What else would you (or the target audience) like to see in this production? (scenes? sequences?)
~The montage should have some the logos of the sites Hi5 My Space etc flashing up one after the other
~ More interviews of teenagers as they are the ones that use these sites the most and are the target audience.
Suggestions for post-production/editing (music? voiceover? cutaways? montage? cross cutting? titles? slo-mo?)
~ Include some up to date music in the background to catch the audience’s attention~ Have a voiceover when showing the montage or the interviews
