Pre-Video Assignment, Gomez

The clip is a segment from Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, where Bee tries to acquire a mascot costume from the National Rifle Association. This is a good example of a multi-media project because she incorporated interview footage (she was the subject for this), b-roll footage, a narrative, and use of graphics. The video also included footage of phone calls from people from the NRA, producers buying guns, and even Bee trying to buy a costume off the person wearing it. Everything was properly organized, and the video brought the point home. The point being that acquiring a gun is apparently a lot easier than acquiring a costume from the NRA. It's satire, but it makes for a good media project because the content does tell a story.

This is a vlog (video blog) from David Dobrik, a popular vlogger from Youtube. While his series makes for a very entertaining vlog series, this could be an example of a bad media project. Here, also with most of his videos, he stages some of the content. Like for example, here he has his friends laying down bind-folded while he puts a tarantella on their stomachs. Also the camera angles are not exactly the best, he hold the camera the majority of the time. Also, there is not much of a narrative, more so than just shenanigans him and his friends get into for the vlog.
