Madison Story

The camera work was good. The shots would be tight, medium and wide for shots to show her playing or being in class. They had talking space and they had the interview shots with third eye. There are lots of medium shots when she is talking and others are talking. The transition from one shot to another goes smoothly. Overall the camera work was very precisest with the story.

The story was very inspiring. They way she doesn't let her arm get in the way of doing what she likes is great to see. She is very positive and nice. She acts the way any other teenager acts and does not let her arm get in the way. The way she sees very thing is in a positive light. She proves that she can do what everyone else can. I really like that about her. It was a great story.
