Billington, Pre-Video Assignment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If9S-xA-QJA

This was not a good multimedia project. While the video and audio quality were good throughout, there were definitely a lot of issues. The first thing I noticed was the framing. In the first shot of Martin Reynolds, all you can really see is his head and it's at the bottom of the screen so there was too much top space over his head. Another issue was the text. It should be in the lower third opposite from where the subject is looking. Also there shouldn't be a lot of text on one line, it should be broken up. Finally, all of the subjects looked directly at the camera. I thought I was fine at first with Martin, who was introducing the piece, but then everyone did it.

This is a great multimedia video. The framing was really good because they mixed up the shots and would sometimes show the subject's upper body, and then it'd switch up and get closer to their faces. Additionally, the subjects were looking off-screen as they should be. As a whole the video was really captivating because it opened by setting the scene about gambling and then smoothly transitioned into Josh Adams telling his story about how he is a recovered gambling addict. Finally, the B-roll footage was great throughout the video and the shots were relevant to what they were discussing at that point and time in the interview.
