Billington, Pre-Video Assignment

This was not a good multimedia project. While the video and audio quality were good throughout, there were definitely a lot of issues. The first thing I noticed was the framing. In the first shot of Martin Reynolds, all you can really see is his head and it's at the bottom of the screen so there was too much top space over his head. Another issue was the text. It should be in the lower third opposite from where the subject is looking. Also there shouldn't be a lot of text on one line, it should be broken up. Finally, all of the subjects looked directly at the camera. I thought I was fine at first with Martin, who was introducing the piece, but then everyone did it.

This is a great multimedia video. The framing was really good because they mixed up the shots and would sometimes show the subject's upper body, and then it'd switch up and get closer to their faces. Additionally, the subjects were looking off-screen as they should be. As a whole the video was really captivating because it opened by setting the scene about gambling and then smoothly transitioned into Josh Adams telling his story about how he is a recovered gambling addict. Finally, the B-roll footage was great throughout the video and the shots were relevant to what they were discussing at that point and time in the interview.

Brodsky, Pre Video Assignment

I selected that video as an example of a bad video because of the way the interviews are shot. The composition does not follow the rule of thirds and many people are in the center of the screen looking right at the camera.

This video was interesting and extremely informative. I enjoyed the format and thought that it was able to stay interesting on a relatively boring topic.

Arbelaez. Pre-Video Assignment
This is an example of a good multimedia project, and it is also impressive that it is a high school project. The shot of the main guy, Brent O'neal is clear and clean, and the audio is crisp throughout. On top of this, the interview is structured in a nice flowing manner, and the things that he mentions usually pop up in related b-roll, intermittently cutting back to him to have him deliver opinion. Overall it it very concise and efficient with its actions. A well done project.
This is an example of a bad multimedia project. The music is the first thing you notice, because it is so horrible. The tune of the harmony does not fit in with the mood of the poem being presented, and ends up causing a shocking dissonance. The visuals are very difficult to see, because the pictures that are chosen are grainy and blurry, and the text of the poem is black, set against black pictures, which makes it impossible to make out. This project shows how badly you can miss the point of a project with poor audio and confusing video.
