Feingold, Pre-Video Assignment

The good video that I chose is from The New York Times and won't embed onto this site for some reason, but the link is below. This multimedia project is about student protests at Purdue University. It has many different angles, various interviews with both sides of the issue shown. There is a lot of B-roll to supplement the interviews that take place in the video, and there are far away shots, close up shots, and medium shots. Overall the length of the video is good, as well as the camera work and content.

The bad video that I chose is from Youtube and is a student who took JOUR203 in the past. There are a variety of shots and interviews, however there were some issues with this video. The quality of sound needs to be improved (with a lavalier microphone). Also, the viewer doesn't know really know what the video is about until halfway through, due to the fact that there is no introduction. The french teacher in the video gives a bit of an intro into what the project is about, but it is hard to hear her speak so some viewers might miss this.
