Madison's story

Camera work: The camera work for this story was pretty good quality. Only a little movement in the the shots with the football team and volleyball team. The shots were a little shaky while moving, they're still steady and only with limited movement. Other than that, there is good nose room and eyes on third. The rule of thirds is shown and executed well.  There is sequenceing with W-M-T shots. The points of intrest in almost always in one of the thirds. During the interview there was good background.
