Fielder, Pre-Video Assignment

The "good video" I chose was one from the New York Times by Leslye Davis, Ben C. Solomon and Yousur Al-Hlou. The video is an interview with a woman who witness the Paris attacks with her family. There are multiple angles that the woman is shot from, including a close shot of the woman's face as she speaks, and a wide shot. There were also numerous clips of b-roll that add to the story. Some included shots of her child's artwork, parisian streets and flowers left on the ground and in walls. The clip won't embed, but here is the link:

The "bad video" was one I found on YouTube called Egg Drop Tricks by Mark Rober. While the picture quality and b-roll is decent for this video, the editing makes it choppy. The first few seconds are filmed with Rober walking and the footage is shaky. The background music  competes with Rober's voice when he is speaking. The music also becomes annoying. Some scenes also have echoey audio(when he is in his home). A lot of the b-roll becomes repetitive as the video goes on.
