I like the section that you choose, and I also like that you were one of the few students who found ways to include video rather than all still images. Your reading pace is exactly right, though I would've taped this again as you stumbled a bit. Practice the reading first. Mainly though, I would suggest two things (1). Make sure that all of your images are stylistically related, so that you have videos and photos that look like they were intentionally created by the same person, and not the results of a series of quick Google searches. (2). Make sure that the content of the essay matches the visual images. Does it make sense to have a smiley face in the middle of an essay about this kind of loss? Or video footage from the Little Rascals. As the artist, you are responsible for every part of the assignment, every sound, every picture, every video. Make each one count.
