Prevideo assignment, Espinosa

The Good:

 I think this is a good project because not only is it interesting, but the visuals, audio, and story produce an overall excellent video. The small graphics that lay on top of the actual film is very interesting and give the video some texture and dimension. Before we even really see him, we are given a flipping “paper” with all the information of where we are going and who we are going to be talking to. I also like what Nick did not specifically explain, the producer added with his graphic over Nicks audio. The audio is super balanced. There are even little sound effects that go with the graphics which, again, just makes it that much more intriguing… but that's NPR for you.

The Bad:

 The project wasn’t bad, but it was really frustrating to listen to with headphones because it kept bouncing from right to left. The visuals were fine, it matched with the audio, but I feel like there could have been more graphics. For example, having the farmer's name show up at the bottom when we meet him for the first time. Its little things that definitely would've made this better.

This was just a profile but it was just a profile. It was very bland, the photo at the beginning was poor quality, and the background was extremely distracting. I kept watching the fan instead of listening to what he had to say.
