I thought this was a poor example of a multimedia project. I understood what they were going for with this video, but a lot of the editing seemed forced. To start, I thought splitting the screen with half of it containing someone's face stuck in a weird position in a grayed-out color scheme seemed odd. I also thought the camera angles for the interviews from the 01:23-01:39 looked strange given the previous shots.

In my opinion, this is an example of a good multimedia project. The video uses a combination of many different multimedia tools including video, still photography, firsthand witness accounts (via cellphone cameras) and audio clips from police scanners. Contrary to the previous example, the different camera angles, specifically from the cellphone cameras, played into its emotional appeal. This project also uses a Google Earth type of display to show the area. At first, the viewer gets an overall shot, then the camera zooms in and moves along the route of the attack, following in sync with the narration. The use of visuals such as the lines marking where things such as the crash happened were helpful. In this video, the use of the split screen makes sense. On one half of the screen, the viewer sees a firsthand account of what happened, while on the other half of the screen the viewer gets an overview shot of that specific area.
