Pre Video Assignment, Canales

Good Video
https://vimeo.com/96537662

This is an example of a good multi-media project. We hear the story of a woman who went blind after a stroke, but started seeing motion. It is a really cool video because we see things from the lady's perspective. For example, she talks about how she could start seeing rain, the steam from the kettle, and her daughter's ponytail moving from side to side and the video gave us those visuals. We are hearing the story while also viewing things from her point of view, drawing you right into the story. We get a perspective of how she sees the world around her while also learning what happened to her vision and brain due to the stroke. When she says she is able to see people but not their faces, the visuals really helped me understand what she meant.

Bad Video

I wouldn't necessarily say this a bad video but it isn't good either. It is sort of in between. I really like the story of it (mom and daughter doing graffiti of chicken) and I like how both the mom and the 10 year old had something to say about what they were doing but there were moments when I became distracted by the use of the colors in the video, especially at the beginning. Also, during some moments there is too much camera movement like zooming in and out or moving left and right. I think it is better if the camera would have stayed at a fixed positions. The color effects are distracting and don't add to the story. Neat story, but video could be better.
