Pre-Video Assignment, Cooper

This New York Times video on the recent act of terrorism does a good job of capturing what people knew about the suspect while also keeping a somber tone. There is no narration, but rather the creators put words on the screen while showing clips of the neighborhood. It had that eerie vibe that you'd expect from this type of video. The interviews were solid as well, and I generally enjoyed the simplicity of this video.

This Washington Post video from 2013 was one that I did not enjoy as much. To begin, I didn't really enjoy the camera shots that were blocked by people's heads. In turn with that, the music playing in the background was more distracting than it was complementary. For something from The Post, I expected it to look a little more polished. The interview clips chosen weren't all that interesting, and the video as a whole felt a bit jumbled.
