KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments: |
|
Well produced, great topic. Kids can readily identify with the situation of communicating with people online and, though most are attuned to the concerns about safety in their online "friendships" this film points out how easy it is for an online "friend" to misrepresent who they really are. The girls' detective skills add another dimension to this film and make it fun and interesting. Well produced with good camera work, clear audio, good background music and good continuity. The script is well developed and engaging. |
