  Feedback  

WEEK 1
-

WEEK 2
For the self-shooting exercise, look carefully at the Medium Closed-Up Shot, which should be closer to your objective. You can refer to the reference I have given in Google Slides.

WEEK 3
Try to shorten the Lalin video to 35 sec. For the Q&A section, rethink Act 2, which part do really change Lalin's life? Besides, the theme means what the movie wants to express, do not mix with the purpose.
