Pre-Video Assignment, Bhatt

Good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9P3VNnyovs

This video shows each interviewee's face and what they look like with their voice being heard in the background. There is a good balance of natural sound because it's not overpowering the main voice. I also think the slow motion of showing people walk away from the gas station makes the story more 'dramatic' and it makes the viewer feel like Puerto Ricans are truly struggling. Lastly, there is a good amount of broad frames to show the long lines as well as close-ups to individual people.

I understand what this video was trying to show but I think getting different angles of the woman washing clothes in a river would have added more to it. For example, if there was a close up of her hands, that would have been a good and different angle. I'm not sure if they decided not get different angles because this was recorded on 360 video and it would have been hard to do. I do think the natural sound of the water was a huge plus in this piece.
