Hyman, Pre-video Assignment
This video is pretty bad. It doesn't actually include video, just audio and pictures. The pictures have different effects put on them and meld into other things. It's hard to tell what the actual point of the presentation is. It says in the title that it's about stress, but there are just a bunch of different pictures showing people studying, praying etc. I never actually get the feeling that there's a story or an explanation of where stress comes from. Furthermore, the tone and music jump all over the place. There is no continuity; sometimes it's an urgent tone with upbeat music, other times there is a relaxing single instrument playing. These pieces jump in and out without any clear transition or connection to the photos they are paired with. Also, at times there are just a bunch of words on the screen.
In D.R. Congo - The Story Of A Solar Fridge from Vincent Urban on Vimeo.
This is a very good project and video. It tells a compelling story that keeps the viewer interested. There is a slight, soft music in the background which does not cut off or change at any point, so the video feels consistent. The video never stays on one clip too long, but usually long enough that the viewer gets the idea. The voiceovers explain the situation in The Democratic Republic of Congo, and the project which MEDAIR is promoting. There are overall, medium, and detail videos which each give a different piece of perspective. For example, overalls of the mountains and villages, mediums of people's faces, details of people's feet in the mud. The idea throughout the story is consistent.

This was just a bad video, the audio was removed due to copyright, the color tint at times looks horrendous, the camera is shaky, it's only saving grace is it has some decent video editing.
I really enjoyed the creativity of this video. The animation is creatively done, and although it hurts my eyes at times, the video lines up perfectly with the song.

Aside from the audio being a bit too low, I really enjoyed watching this video and all of its visual changes. The creator has a really nice variety of footage and angles.
There are a number of problems with this video. It's visually boring- the only shots used are those of the interviewees. The sound bites are also too long and there's limited nat sound to give it some color. The intro was shaky and confusing.
Bell, Pre-Video Assignment
The settings on this camera are clearly at low resolution causing the girl to look fuzzy and her feats not clearly defined. Also this video does not make any sense as she just waves at the camera the whole time while the picture changes color over and over again which is extremely annoying to the eyes. Also the tone of music is loud at first and does not make any sense going along with this video. Also there is no sort of intro or outdo included with this, and is all one camera angle the whole time.
This video is a good example of high video quality because these guys are professionals. This video is from College Humor, a sketch comedy YouTube channel with multiple series underneath its company name. This series from College Humor is called Jake and Amir. And the reason why this video is so good is because the sound quality is perfect, you can hear everyone clearly and there is no background noise even though they film in their own office with their co-workers doing their normal work. Also, it adds comedy to the video with some amazing shots that go back and forth between Amir and Jake multiple times throughout the whole video. It also has a nice simple intro and out-tro that lists the company name at the end.
