Living Galapagos

Farming the Future

This story was very well put together. I loved the mix of still pictures and video, and it worked very well to have the man talking who lived there instead of a narration. The story itself was interesting as well: learning about how tourism impacts the local people and what they think about the foreigners who come visit their island.

Hanging on to Boyhood

I enjoyed the different perspectives shared in this story. It was interesting to hear the views on adulthood from two brothers: they knew each other and could relate to each other, but there was a gap in their maturity, age, and life experiences. However, since they were in the same generation this showed the similarities and differences in life just between the ages of 16 and 20. The pictures and the audio mixed well together, though I am not sure if there was a clear climax in this story.

Human Tide

This story also did a good job of showing a couple different perspectives. Not only were there multiple voices, there were multiple points of view on important topics. I think that this is essential when presenting an issue such as immigration because it is so easy to forget that there are several sides to an issue: we just remember the popular opinion or our own beliefs. Again, the pictures, audio, and video were blended together very well. All three stories were very interesting and well put together.
