Pre-video assignment, Lockwood

This is a bad video project because although the idea and creativity is there, the film lacks visual interest and color. The audio quality is good and the sound effects are appropriate, but the lack of plot and the use of the same background for each clip make the video fall flat. Also, the film doesn’t really tell a story, and doesn’t really leave the viewer with a bigger takeaway or even any new knowledge.

I think this a good short video because it uses a variety of settings, sound techniques, and styles to push the story along. The visuals are engaging and beautiful and there is a contrast between scenes that are inside versus scenes that take place in nature. I like the colorful backdrops the characters are filmed against and the music does a good job of matching the tone of the scene as well. This film evokes a very emotional response from the viewer and it’s effective because of the variety of visual and audio stimuli throughout the film.
