Good Video-
My Life After Manson from The New York Times - Video on Vimeo.
This is a good video because it uses a lot of good B Roll shots. Patricia Krenwinkel was 19 when she was part of the Manson family and killed for Charles Manson. She was convicted of 7 murders and has spent the rest of her life behind bars. This is good because she shows raw emotion that isn't provoked by a reporter. She is telling us her side of the story. You can tell that she regrets everything she did. Her emotions tell the story of how she was finally able to escape from Charles Manson after being locked up. She is framed in the middle of the screen looking directly into the camera but she isn't fielding questions, rather she is telling us the viewers her story. So I felt it wasn't a bad thing that they had her framed in the middle of the screen.The New York Times did a great job on this video because they let Patricia tell her own story, had a lot of good B roll and natural sounds, and it also invoked a lot of emotions.
Bad Video-
This is a bad example of a multimedia project. The audio for the interviews is choppy. It is at points hard to understand what they are trying to say. The interview video itself is grainy and not very clear even on HD. The interview subjects looked directly at the camera a lot when they were answering questions. The footage of the wakeskating isn't bad, however the interviews are really bad.
