Barnett, Pre-Video Assignment (Multimedia Review/RPS Sequencing Vid)

A good example of a multimedia project is the one below that was done as a part of The School of Life series about various interviews done with seventeen kids/adults over the course of a decade. It's a good project because it has a good intro that sets the framework for that the video is going to be about, and what the viewer will see. Also, it uses a variety of shots & b-roll while each interviewee speaks. On top of that, because these interviews were done over a couple years, the transitions between a girl at age 10 and the same girl at age 20 are very well done.





A bad example of a multimedia project is the one below that is a profile on the Next Step Recycling company. The fact nearly the first half of the video is a collection of different pictures while someone talks about the company - someone who isn't identified until halfway through the project and it turns out to be the founder of this company - is the primary reason this is a bad multimedia project. The project just starts off with Lorraine Kerwood (the founder) talking, but again she isn't identified within a reasonable amount of time so it's just some random person talking. She is talking about the company, but it seems like after a few shots of the signs, they isn't anything distinctive feature to any of the "products" shown that distinguish these items as Next Step Recycling products.
