2. When does the dialogue fit the characters?
3. When do the camera directions help us see and understand the characters?
4. When do the camera directions help us see the important things in the setting? What else do you need to know about the setting?
5. What about the story was interesting?
6. When did the dialogue help tell the story?
7. What camera directions help us see the action, what the characters were doing? What camera directions helped to tell the story?
8. How did the ending make you feel?
9. Is there anything else you need to know about the story?
