1. I liked this montage of action shots of Naomi from various angles as well as the less vibrant and grainy filter that is being used throughout the episode.

2. I like the wide establishing shot as the location is being changed and seeing the stadium completely empty before the match

3. I like that they captured this very intimate moment between Naomi and Coco that really humanized them and made the audience sympathize with them.

1. I liked the shots of him back in the neighborhood that he grew up in. It made Nas feel more authentic and more relatable.

2. The shots of him performing with hands of the people in the crowd is a powerful image to me. I like the contrast between the silhouette of people’s hands and the colorful lights on stage.

3. I loved the use of archival footage throughout the documentary, as well as the still images of Nas in black and white and the moving of the images.

I enjoyed these close up shots of broll that sort of places the viewers in their space and sees things from their perspective.

I think this was a powerful shot, showing how willing these people are to risk their to keep certain traditions going.

I liked this broll of the ocean as she is talking about the ocean and the power it holds and it’s significance to her.

I found it interesting when they were showing all of the magainze ads from the past and how many different type of fonts were used compared to now.

They gave so much meaning to Helvetica as a font. The font is seen as more human, so corporations use it to seem less authoritative. But we can also see it being used for an American Apparel ad, where it is seen as more "cheeky."

I just found it interesting that he let an intern carve into him for a project.
