The Untold Story of America's Southern China
This documentary has everything from visuals, old photos, graphics with maps of the Mississippi, and good angles for interviews with a range of medium, close up shots. The wide shots of the landscape was aesthetically pleasing as well. The storytelling is easy to follow and the different shots of b-roll shows all aspects of life for the people being documented and makes the story come to life. The music was also very fitting because the country style and their southern accents meshed well together. The voice over of Dolly Li also helped narrate what was going on in the video and introduce the people.

Sugar Babies: Mini Documentary
I thought the introduction of the video with the definition with the graphics. However the music in the background was distracting because it was almost as loud as the voice over and went on continuously throughout the documentary. The change in music was good and set the mood for a more serious conversation. I thought the video interview of the profile could have her at the center of the shot instead of the right side. There could be more b-roll and close-up shots of her looking through the screen on the app. There was no narration of the filmmaker which could help the storytelling.
