Review of What Happens When You Die?I admire the fact that this piece attacks "the big question" with a good cross-section of viewpoints that were thoughtful and relatively light (considering the subject). This piece can stand on it's own between segments, or could be used to seque from a heavy piece about death and dying into one that is lighter, or the other way around. |

Youth Editorial Board Review of "What Happens When You Die?"
This piece is a succinct vox pop about life after death. It is rather short and sweet, with a multitude of interesting answers. The producer picked out some very fitting piano music that, in a way, was sort of creepy. I felt like it really set the mood well. There were also a couple places where I thought the editing of the piece was very well done. I liked in the beginning where she put in a montage of people saying, “After death…” It gives you a nice mental image of all of those people, and her standing there with the microphone pointed at them. I really liked how visual that part was.
Some of the sound levels were a bit off. It seemed like not all of the voices were the same volume. Also, I felt like one of the answers she received was sort of unnecessary. It was more or less a repeat of what was said by the person immediately before her, talking about goth kids and gravestone vandalism. I think having both responses in the story was needless. Over all, I enjoyed the piece, there were only a few technical things that bothered me.
