Hey Liza, nice short doc. I'm sure school will give you advice on this film, And I'm by no means an expert, but if you don't mind I would like to give some camera and audio advice. When shooting staganet shots like in a documentary, always have the camera on the lease lit side of the face so in this case on his left side. And when it comes to audio, (if possible that is) do it in a room say with carpet so the sound has something to absorb into or use lav-mic. That way there won't be that echo kinda sound when your subject speaks. Besides that awesome job.
I did this 4 years ago. It has a lot of issues, mostly the fact that the 'star' had other priorities. I ran with what I could get. So, sure, aware of sound imperfections, among other things. Don't know if you misspelled something, no idea what staganet means. Less lit part of the face? huh?
He even looks like a magician :o
