Chasing the Wind (good example): https://vimeo.com/211630694
This is a good example of a multimedia project, as it uses a variety of stylistic elements to tell a story. Some of these stylistic elements include natural sounds, documentation style video and interview clips, music, and clear detail, medium, and overview shots. I believe it was a very smart choice to use a lot of natural sounds in the project because it made the story itself, which was about windsurfing, come to life. For example, the viewer really gets the sense that they are at the beach when the video showing a large wave crashing against the shore is accompanied by the sound it produces as well. I also believe that it was smart to include both old documentation style video as well as normal interview clips, as it allows the viewer to get a sort of timeline of the windsurfer's entire career.
Interview with Danny (bad example) https://vimeo.com/ondemand/ctci/
This is a bad example of a multimedia project, as it lacks all of the stylistic elements that are listed above. As hinted in the title, the multimedia project is an interview with a guy named Danny. Normally, a multimedia project that has an interview aspect to it would have the interviewee sitting down and off to one side of the frame while the interviewer is behind the camera asking questions. This multimedia project, however, did neither of those two things. Both the interviewer and the interviewee were awkwardly standing in the middle of the frame throughout the entire interview. The camera also stayed at the same medium distance shot the entire time, which made for a very boring video. There were no musical or natural sound elements added into the video, only a bad graphic to explain what the interview was about.
