Nov 2012 Methods... qualitative critique
1.The video allows you to see a story about a women who gave so much for her family and her community. Right away you get a personal feel on her life through the pictures being shown. You get a sense of a person with a "warm" heart, as a big part of her life was advocating for the mentally ill. The video showed us the Posthumously, the Sussex County NJ Freeholders award that thanked her for years of advocacy. The short video recognizes some of her achievements that any one would look up too. In the text your can see she was highly respected and very involved in her community. The church donated a glass window in her passing and the sheriffs had an "honor" at her funeral for all of her advocacy about the jail time the mental health treatment. It seems she had good values and morals that have shined thru her children.

2. I think the effectiveness of meeting its purpose was caught and delivered in a good way. You get to know ones life and achievements thru a personal touch rather than a researcher. As in we get to see the emic focus as opposed to etic focus. The narrative and photo time line help the audience understand her life as they unfolded in a meaningful progression. The video summed up her life using pictures for "before and after" involving the mother. Sensitivity to context is a good way to focus on her life meaning.
