So this was a little better. The nat sound fade(s) sounded much better...theres not that abrupt end or start...so good work there.

I like movement but don't rely on it so much.....a nice steady well composed shot beats a moving shot anyday.

Watch your jump cuts.....the interview subject broll part was filled with jumpcuts...get a cutaway to move around...that shot peering thru the panel was really cool...why not use that as an interview spot for a couple questions...which would add the variety you need to move the piece along...something to think about.

Let's get into some edit theory because I think it might help you a little. Its said that you edit on a natural pause in reporter trax or at a preposition...if you write accordingly this will have a tremendous impact on pacing. Don't edit just to edit...have a reason....like shots say something to the viewer...so does editing it. Develop your inside-out edit techniques....this again goes back to writing...you need the reason to go from inside to outside or have some natsound transition that makes sense to get you from one place to another. Sorry if this is really getting bogged down but it goes to show how much fore thought needs to go into shooting a story as well as afterthought.....don't shoot to shoot. Shoot with a purpose....things will begin to open up in your photog eye that way.
