Pre-Video Assignment, Gross

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo5FEYAQOEw

This is not a great video assignment. For starters, the audio is inconsistent and some shots are shaky. The reporter also told the whole story herself, not letting the people in the video do so. The CGs could have been improved, ideally making them two lines instead of having back-to-back commas on one line. Also, she did not write to her video. She finished the package with a standup, which is good, but should have stated a fact too. Just saying who she was and the publication is an abrupt and weird ending.

I really liked this video for a few reasons. The reporter let the person who the package was on tell the story, making it more compelling. They also wrote to the video and told a real story in doing so. The first package about the journalism fair was told somewhat with a scrambled list of ideas, no real cohesive point. The interviews in this packagealso use the 'Rule of Thirds' making them look sharp. The ending to the video was powerful, and the slow dip to black was a nice touch.
