Feedback On Rough Edit

The main feedback for our first edit was that our documentary is trying to focus on a story of the Chinese immigration, but we didn't have enough footage or B-roll for us to be able to tell that story. So from this we decided to cut the Chinese immigration story and focused more on the tea, and how there is lots of different types of tea, asking people how they like their tea, seemed to fit this more. 

Another thing is that our sound wasn't optimised, but with time to edit the sound we will lower the levels and make things sound a little bit better. Our interviews were a little bit to quiet so we will increase the levels to make it easier to hear.

This is because when we see the baby there isn’t really any emotional response from her. It
