Good Example: TerpSki
This video is for the Maryland student group TerpSki, and while it’s a bit wild, I think it shows great video technique. For starters, the camera is very steady throughout, even in the action shots while moving down the mountain. They make good use of wide, medium, and tight shots, especially detail shots. They use lots of different angles and perspectives. Some of them I have no idea how they got. Additionally, they use really different clips (it’s not boring or repetitive) and have a good mix of skiing actions shots and partying/other activities.
Bad Example: Student Journalism Multimedia Project
While this project is not too bad, I think it could definitely be improved. In the very first shot, the reporter is too far away and very small in the frame. They are clearly trying to get both the reporter and the football statue, but cut off the top of the statue. They manage to capture neither one very well. I think they should have had the camera farther away and the reporter much closer to the camera so they could get both without the reporter looking tiny. He is also in the center of the frame and should stand to one side. They did not use a tripod and the entire video is a bit shaky. Finally, I think this project could have benefited from a closer or sign off because the end is rather abrupt.
