Pre-Video Assignment, Senay

Good Multi-Media Project:
The Hidden World of Vivian Maier

This is a good multi-media project because the narrator begins the story with a vague yet personal anecdote that connects himself to the subject of the story. He then introduces himself and describes how he grew up and why he is connected with Vivian Maier. The visuals are accurate to each part of the narrative as it progresses. With black and white photographs, the soundtrack fits the feeling of the mid-1900s era snapshots. The narrator brings on a renowned photographer to qualify Maier's work and way of life. Sound quality is on point as well.

Bad Multi-Media Project:
Super Uber projects


I am not a fan of this project because the visuals are scattered. Although thematic to what the purpose of this convention is (cultural education), there is no script to describe what each station is or what the mission of Super Uber is. The music comes off as slightly aggravating as it persists for the entire five minutes of the project. Camera work could be better as well although the videographer does vary between wide, medium and close shots.
