Pre-video assignment, Brennan

Bad video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmiPaRt6NNI

It was difficult to follow the plot of this video — characters went from discussing driving directions, to a job interview to a random phone call — and the audio and scripting wasn't conducted especially well. It was difficult to hear at times, and scripting/editing wise, at one point the young man on the phone and the person on the other line were speaking over each other/the conversation did not flow. All in all, it made for a confusing, not especially well-presented video.

Good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW8wV_qaaQc

I think this was a good video because it tells a story — the impact of one's words. There are several videos online based on the same premise as this one, but she sets it up well in the beginning — showing the layout of her school, shoes hanging back and forth — and it continues to impress from thereon. It is well lit and the camera is focused throughout. She captured the moments people wished to be hidden: the smiles behind their hands, the crinkles next to their eyes as they laughed, the embarrassment at being called beautiful. It was well done.
