Williams, Pre-Video Assignment

Good project:


The opening sequence of this video uses catchy music to get the viewer’s attention right away. The use of music and text for scene transitions helps to keep the video interesting without being distracting. Text is also used to provide extra information that would be awkward to list out loud (i.e. the scientific names of all the animals shown in the video), and occasionally for emphasis.



Bad project:


This video is very slow-paced, with long, awkward pauses in the narration in between transitions. For most of the video, the narrator is basically just listing locations she visited, without any real enthusiasm. The music and constant use of the Ken Burns effect fail to make the video interesting, and the narrator’s pronunciation of British and French words is cringe-inducing.
