Evaluation Feedback:
Time taken: 7:07 minutes
The opening was effective
The stories linked well to the topic. In the joke, Johannesburg could have been changed to Durban ("Coast to coast" reference would have been more effective
The jokes nicely emphesised the topic.
There was a lot of poses, although not too much.
