This is an example of a good multimedia project. It had a good balance of emotion and fact, without ever needing a narrator or voiceover from a reporter. The personal testimonies from the locals provided the necessary information and history, and anything else that needed to be added was provided with words on the screen, rather than a reporter's voice. I think this added to the piece. If a reporter had inserted themselves into the package, it would have detracted from the emotion and intensity of the horrid events that happened in the mother and child home.

This is an example of a bad multimedia project. The first thing I noticed was the camera movement. It was very shaky or panned around the scene, making me dizzy. The sound quality was also very poor. There were many moments throughout the video that all I heard was wind noise, or the audio levels were all over the place. One moment it would be too loud, and I couldn't hear anything in the next shot. I also think the project took too long to get to the main point. I was confused as to what the purpose of the project was for too long and it should have been explained sooner.
