Pre-Video Assignment, Gershkovich



This video is titled "Meet the Man Who Dresses Melania Trump" and is narrated by Herve Pierre, the fashion designer himself, and compiled by the New York Times. I like this video because the music and visuals work nicely with the information being presented. I also think it gives viewers a thorough insight into the life of Pierre. Being a designer, Pierre's role is usually one that is "behind the scenes," and this clip makes Pierre's career the center of attention. I also like that text is used to compliment Pierre's comments (which are witty and entertaining) rather than the voice of a journalist or narrator. This allows the video to have a nice flow and doesn't cause unnecessary interruption. 


I am not sure if this counts as a multi-media project, but this is a video from my friend's wedding which I think is excellent and I wanted to share it. My friend is Jewish, and she got married in Israel this past summer. I feel that the music in this video works very well with the visuals, which are beautiful. The way the story is told causes viewers to instantly feel connected. While watching this, I really felt like I was part of the scene. I like that the video and music tell the story here rather than the voice of a narrator. 



Bad Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEcD6bUur-c This multimedia project is about sports. Based on the video description, it seems as though the creator of the video wanted this video to focus on the health benefits of sports, though I do not feel this was accomplished at all. Additionally, all of the video used is blurry/shaky/out of focus, and whenever text is used, it is extremely difficult to read due to it bouncing around.
