Good Multimedia Example

Good Multimedia

In this multimedia project, the Guardian has put together a mix of text, interviews, and a clean layout, which makes this interactive website interesting and fun. The title is gripping and informative that sets the urgent and almost ominous tone for the rest of the website. The topic is clear and is told well through text and interviews. The combination of graphics, documents, and charts are varied enough to keep the viewer engaged and are not superfluous but rather add more to the whole piece. The lighting for the interviews matches the website layout with simple lighting and backgrounds. 

Bad Multimedia Example

There are a few things that bothered me while watching this video. First, some of the text for the clips and photos were difficult to read because they were long and not enough time was put to read them. In addition, the color of the font made it hard to read when it was layered on top of an image. In addition, the images and clips that were used should have been cited at the end in the credits.
