Roberts, Pre-Video Assignment



Bad project: Cloggins https://vimeo.com/149360023

This project was not terrible by any means; however, there a few technical problems that could have easily been fixed. For starters, the interviews shots are so wide and not visually appealing. The setting of the interview was good, but the angle was not. Also, the audio was pretty bad, probably due to the lack of equipment and failing to get the camera close to the subject. These minor details really detract from the overall project. The in-game video and voice over was good but lack the story telling visuals that it needed. I believe that this project was while interesting and showed promise, missed to really tell the story visually and effectively.

This project compelled me on many levels. Although there was no voice over or interviews, I do not believe she needed them. Her visuals were so strong and music choice set the tone perfectly. The edited she did to sequence the process of finding a Christmas tree for the holidays was perfect. It is a true example of what filmmaking has come to in a digital, camera-everywhere world. You could feel apart of the process without any narration, and that is what many people are drawn today. The vibe of the video was strong and suited this project well.
