Guo, Pre Video Assignment

Bad: This video is an example of a bad video project. This project is meant to be a video interview for why the creator of the video should be the candidate chosen for the Mars One Project. While humorous, the video was not planned very well in terms of location and distractions around. For example, the video has a lot of background noise such as people moving around and talking. The still photos were also very poorly done, such as the three still photos in the beginning where the face did not match the photos in the slightest. The video also was very one dimensional, lacking any angles besides straight on.

Good: This video is an example of a good video project. This video is a commercial for a Thai life insurance company. The video is very visually pleasing with a variety of angles and different scenes. Each scene adds to the message of the video successfully and helps to build towards the character of the central figure of the video. The video displays a variety of medium and detail shots that help to evoke the emotion of the scenes. This is accompanied by music and some natural sounds that helps to evoke the same emotions of inspiration and encouragement to do good.
