Review of Teen Perspectives on God

Almost everyone has an opinion on God, whether or not they believe there is one, and the creator of this piece successfully captures a number of very thoughtful, interesting perspectives from teenagers of various religions. An important piece in a culture full of negative images of teens, it still needs some editing before broadcasting. Although the narration successfully introduces and groups quotes, it does not add to the depth of the piece, which might work better as simply a montage of voices. (In fact, the first couple minutes, which contained no narration, were for me the most powerful ones.) In addition, the sound quality of this piece needs improvement; various mike sounds and poorly mixed music detract from the overall effect. Still, the fascinating quotes showing a variety of views on who God is and his or her role in our lives deserve airtime and I’d love to see this piece edited, remixed, and ready to air.
