CBS News Video:
This video is a good representation of a multi-media project
because it displays balance between emotional appeal and informative reporting.
For example, devastation of streets and homes were shown as the reporter
described the effect Maria was having on the residents and community.
Specifically, he spoke of the risk of mudslides, the Mayor’s effort to mobilize
residents, and even presented a personal resident account of the hurricane. The
reporter’s ability to not only show and tell, but to do both in an equal degree
is what makes this video effective.
New York Times Video:
This reason this video is a bad representation of a multi-media
project relates to the reason the CBS News video was a good representation; it
does not have a balance between informative reporting and emotional appeal. For
example, both audio and visual was used for emotional appeal all the while
information was provided through the occasional words on the screen. This
information seemed out of place because it was general or of public knowledge. Another
thing to note is that unlike footage was stitched together that made the
purpose of this video clear; viewers should feel sympathy for the events taking
place. Overall the purpose was surface level.
