Comparing Grace Lee and Angela Shelton

The stories of the women in The Grace Lee Project were much more indepth, and the women were truly allowed to share their stories. Angela Shelton kind of used the womens' stories to get her own told. Grace Lee was much more interested in hearing and telling the story of other Grace Lee's around the country. Though her movie did not have as clear or powerful message, I thought it was easier and more enjoyable to watch. For the use of the camera, I would have to say that Angie's film appeared more professionally done. Though she did abuse her camera power in ways that Grace Lee did not. Grace's film almost seemed like it could be done by anyone, which Angie's didn't. The message that came across was much lighter and easier to process. There was not as much movement, and scrambling of stories which helped the viewer follow it easier.
