This was starts with shaky camerawork and also has interview subjects who don't really stare at the camera. Also problems with too much background noise during some of the interviews.

Good example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posttv/video/thefold/new-roots-refugees-seek-sanctuary-in-baltimore-gardens/2013/09/24/ba897998-2491-11e3-b3e9-d97fb087acd6_video.html

Uses great b-roll, diversifies the angles it shoots from, provides a compelling story by being about refugees and keeps it at length that tells the story perfectly without it lasting too long.

Casey Neistat is a filmmaker and Youtuber. This video of him during the big storm on the east coast is a good example because he tells a good story. For more technical elements, I like the transitions and how he moves through each frame. For example cars driving pass one by one, the frame is still, and then switches to him snowboarding behind a car.

I think this is bad because the color is distracting, and the music is too loud which makes the audio from the interviews hard to hear. In terms of framing, I think the subjects needs more headspace. But, I do like the subjects are slightly off center and not directly in the middle of the camera. However, they are either looking directly into the camera or upwards at the cameraperson. Instead he could've repositioned himself for the subject.
