Review of By Faith and Not by SightThis incredibly moving piece, infused with emotion because of the highly personal topic and the openness of the producer, definitely warrants a place on the air. The mix of narration, conversation, music, and sound from the funeral itself creates a very dynamic piece, both in content and in audio. For improvement, I would suggest smoothing the transitions or making sure the whole piece is in chronological order; although bringing the listener to the funeral itself, then giving some background information, and then returning to the funeral has the potential to be very effective, the result was slightly confusing. |

Review of By Faith and Not by SightAuliya Jackson's By Faith Not By Sight uniquely captures the sorrows of attending a funeral of the grandmother she never met. Through her radio diary, Jackson uses raw audio to convey the harsh realities which she faces. Just the right amount of editing is used so that the purity of her message remains, delicately woven into clips from the funeral and her family life. Overall, an emotion filled piece with great flow and moving audio. |
