Pre-Video Assignment, Tulp

Good Example: https://youtu.be/bzWLh-7UsQg

Although there is no talking or narrating in the video, I still think it's a good example.  It still gets the message across just fine.  The transitions from person-to-person in different scenes throughout are pretty smooth.  I like how they connected some shots to make it look like students were throwing cards to each other.  The video did a good job of connecting it back to the student throwing the cards at the beginning, making it look like students were catching the cards that he threw.  The students' actions with the cards looked pretty natural.  The video also had good backgrounds, as it showed some different parts of LSU's campus to give the viewer different perspectives which I found pleasing to the eye.

This video came from a columnist for the website that posted the video.  While the dog was extremely cute, the video wasn't the greatest quality.  It had one part that cut from the dog running, to the dog being up close to the camera right after.  That seemed like the only edit.  The rest was just original, raw video.  There was another time in the video when the man recording moved the camera quickly and it just wasn't a good transition at all.  The quick movement of the camera would make someone dizzy.  When he put the camera on the trainer and owner of the dog, the footage seemed like an amateur video that someone would shoot of their family members.  I know the video was probably supposed to be lighthearted and natural, but it could have been a little better shot.
