Production: the first version of my documentary

Documentary 1 from Penny Brown on Vimeo.
This is the first version of my documentary, with some of the footage missing, as I have not collected it all yet. I received feedback on the footage so far and I realised that I need to change question my documentary was focused on. I need to improve/change:
1. There needs to be more cutaways during the interviews as the takes are too long and will not interest the audience.
2. My presenter is speaking too fast, so when I re-film the beginning of my documentary I will ensure they speak at a rate the audience will understand.
3. The introductory shots at the beginning do not add anything to the documentary itself, so I will re-film some more shots to begin the documentary with.
4. I am going to try to conduct more of my interviews inside, to avoid wind muffling the microphone.
Good things about it so far are:
1. The interviews are mostly conducted with the interviewee to the side of the shot, which is what I intended to do so that I could edit their name and age to the side of the person.
2. I can reuse some of the footage I already have for when I change the question I am posing.
