Madison's Story

Story:
I thought it was really insperational. She can do anything everyone else can do maybe even better and she doesnt let anyting get in the way of that. She has amazing support by her family and friends AND her team. Its also really cool how she can play vollyball concidering its a big hand/arm sport when I cant even play vollyball!


Camera Work:

When they were interviewing her dad they used the rule of thirds well. he was on the right side of the picture giving nose room and eyes on third. They did the same thing when they interviewed her but also they mixed up the backgrtounds because its so boring to see the same thing over and over so everytime they interviewed someone they had a different background behind them. They also started with a medium shot then a close shot. They did that a lot to show how far away she seems to be just like everyone else but up close she is different but doesnt let that stop her.
