Pre-video assignment, Critelli


This mini documentary from BBC is a great example of using visuals and natural sound to tell a story. There are no voiceovers or narration. The entire story is told using natural sound and sound bites. The visuals are very strong and take you right into the environment of the story. It is a little bit of a longer form piece, but the story keeps moving. This is also a great example of spotlighting an individual person to humanize a larger problem, in this case the Syrian refugee crisis.




This is a student project, which is of much lesser quality than the BBC project. The voiceover is too quiet, some camera shots are shaky, and the editing isn’t very strong. The stand ups look unnatural and you can tell the student is reading off of a script.
