Pre-Video Assignment, Hindle

Good video:

This video is very well done. It brings the public into what may be an unfamiliar story, quoting locals and expressing their opinion on the song. The focus on the writer also allows the viewer to get an elevated perspective, something unfamiliar and unique. From a technical point of view, the camera work is quite well done. The best visuals are that of the stadium, and the camera stays on Anfield longer than it does Gerry. This keeps the viewer engaged. It also does a very good job of keeping the sound quality natural when talking to average people on the street.

Bad Video:

This isn't terrible, but it could be better. The whole appeal of Jalen is that he can do amazing things with a basketball. My problem is that this video emphasizes it almost too much. Online, SLAM is known for its youtube "mixtapes." This video, trying to sell itself as a documentary, doesn't do enough to separate it from a highlight reel. It's more of a hype video than it is informational. From a production standpoint, the music is far too loud, and always playing. The input from his former coaches and friends would be interesting, but it's very hard to focus on what they're saying.
