A good example of a multimedia video project is the Washington Post's "The n-word" interactive. It is more than just a video as it includes a mini quiz and other interactive features, but once you get past those parts there is a series of very compelling video interviews that are expertly done. They delve into a wide range of perspectives on the controversial n word and how people from different backgrounds interpret the word's meaning and usage. When interviewing we should all aim to elicit the same kinds of genuine responses and content.
A poor example of a multimedia video project is this one on ice skating in Florida. The interviews are barely audible between the sound of wind and loud feedback. It makes it impossible to want to listen to, even if the interviews were okay. Sound is very important and if a video cannot be heard it is not worth watching.
