Good Video Example

This video makes use of many different environments — from bars to bowling — and naturally-occurring candid conversationsto tell a vibrant and newsworthy narrative about factory workers whose plant relocated to Mexico. The audio and video are high-quality, and the reporter makes a hot-button issue personal by telling the story of a dispute between two friends. This video is a great example of multimedia storytelling.

Bad Video Example

This video from a much more local outlet, the Carroll County Times of Maryland. The video is lower quality and the audio is filled with background noise, which seems a misguided attempt to include natural sound. Only one source is quoted, and none of the children actually doing the project are interviewed, even though they're pictured on camera. The source's quotes aren't even particularly colorful.

Koene started riding motocross at age 12. Although he no longer races, he still enjoys an occasional joyride on his his 1984 Honda Nighthawk.

Koene, an aerospace engineering major, sports a propeller hat, and images of spacecrafts feature prominently in his room.
