Hurler, Pre-Video Assignment

Bad: While this is clearly a student's project, the video itself gives barely any context as to what is going on and the story it is trying to tell.  The camera work is very wobbly and shaky, and it often moves and zooms around a lot within the same shot.  At some points one of the girls that is talking is cut off the screen.  While some different types of angles were included, this video could've used some more variety.  Lastly, at some points the rustling of papers sounds louder than the girls' voices.

  Good: This video does a great job of introducing the viewer to the subject and giving us some background information.  A wide variety of angles and shots are used within the video which add more depth to the story.  The audio is always clear and pretty much free of wind noise. While it's evident that a tripod was not used, the camera shaking is not to the point where it's distracting.  The only time the camera moves is when it's panning to show the entire mural.  The music in the background is kept low while the source is speaking and only raised when they're showing the art while he's not speaking.
