Pre-Video Assignment, Diana Wang

The Bad: Denver Teaching Fellows - A Day in the Life 


This is an example of a bad multimedia project because the interview is done with a busy background, and the rule of thirds is ignored. The B-roll is very shaky when they are panning the room, and the perspectives of the B-roll are not interesting. They are no different angles, and the lighting is all overhead lights, no natural lighting. There are mostly medium shots, no details or overall shots. The video was a bit blurry, with no focus on any part of the clip. However, the audio is pretty clear, but sometimes when the students are speaking, there is a lot of background noise. 

The Good - The Vows

This is an example of a good multimedia project because there are so many different perspectives in the video. It has detail, medium, and overall shots of the video. The interview is done in a good place, and the audio is very clear. Every shot is only about 4 seconds long, which keeps the audience interested. I like how they blur part of the images, and then make some of the image very clear to emphasis certain things. The story is well told with very good transitions from each clip to the next.
