Feed back for episode 6

Hey RMIT, I think the last episode:” Guilty or Not" is a great ending to wrap up the end of the bouncing story. The beginning of the story was well written, I was engaged in the first few lines. I thought it was a good start. It took a different route than I expected. The script development was on point with the previous episode as well as the other episodes. The script in corporate all the elements and details that would put the listener 'in the know' as the story ends. Sort of like a recap, with the McDonald’s line at the end tying the story at the beginning with Steve. It started off with the juror's point of view which is a great attention grabber. The mood in the court room was chaotic and I think that is the mood it is suppose to be, considering Jena's Uncle Loved Gwen. That was a twist! Tension added when Andy came into the court room as a Dingo and then turning into himself. Because of all this chaos some of the characters got lost in the scene. That part needed to be a bit clearer, it seemed clustered. I did not get the significance of the song choice in the end. However I thought the friends would be a little more remorse about Gwen's death and that Jena's uncle caused her death but I guess the lighter side of the story is better. The Humour within the story worked for parts of the story or for the flow. "Do not let the Dingo kill the prison before we get a chance" That was funny. The little bit about Ryerson was pretty funny too. That was a nice edge to add for the story. However over all the script was well developed.The production on the piece was great!The first few second into the story when the verdict was being called the cell phone SFX and the sound of it closing was great. The crowd SFX was great but at times it seemed to be over powering the action of the scene. Some of the voice at times started to overlap and made it a little unclear to hear. At first listen, I could not hear the lines properly when the Dingo came into the courtroom. I had to listen a two more times to get that part. There was a little popping Ps when the chaos stared. The SFX for the Dingo was O.K but at times it seem too loud being that it's in a court room, the barking should be a little less echoy and more absorbed, because there are people in the room absorbing sound. Again I was not sure about the song at the end and what it meant I would think that another song be placed at the end or one of those SFX that imitates an abrupt or sudden end.Overall the actors were great. The judge’s voice was distinct amongst everyone and so was the Uncle's. These two voice performances were well delivered. Over all Guilty or NOt was a good ending to the story and I enjoyed working with RMIT. Thanks guys for a great end and good partnership.
