PreScreening Review Group 1 by Julia Wells, Lucero Hernandez, Aparna Komarla

Our Critique:
- the statistics displayed at the ends of the video needs to be a bit longer to allow the audience to read it
- the message is clear and concise : mental illness
- nice footage and editing and transitions executed nicely
- music was adequate and added a realness to the scenario
- suggestion: the argument between mom and son could have potential dialogue to enhance the message/make the message more clear
-  suggestion: showing a clip of the phone being unanswered to show that the friend was worried about his well-being and not being FAKE
- suggestion: have a clip that shows parent being supportive towards the son to convey the message even clearer
- Suggestion: The generational gap between a parent and child affects how parents understand and interpret mental illness in their children. Although a parent might love their child deeply, they might not be fully aware of how to support them. It would be hear a detailed analysis on this dynamic, and how it unravels between the mother and son in the scene.
- Suggestion: The statistics in the end are powerful, however, it would be interesting to also analyze them through the lens of academia's tendency to pathologize Asian Americans (the theme Professor Valverde discussed in class).
