Examples of Multi-Media Projects
(Intro is long, actual video starts at about 1:20)
Good: This project telling the story of this artist has many unique detail video/photo shots that catch the viewers attention right away. The use of different camera angles and natural light to frame certain shots is extremely eye-catching. The makers of this video overlapped most of the artist's interview audio with footage of things that relate to what she's describing, making the video visually interesting. The short parts where they do show the artist answering their questions is purposefully used, emphasizing what drives her artistic career and how her passion for art can be seen even in her facial expressions. In her interview footage, the artist is positioned to the right of the screen which creates a more interesting image. The music at certain points in the video does not distract from the artist's interview, but still adds another interesting aspect to the video that matches the story being told.
Bad: The most noticeably bad thing about this project is that the whole is shot with the camera held vertically. This limits the amount of image the viewer gets to experience and also extremely limits the choices for positioning people for interviews. This leads me to my next point, that the interviews that were filmed for this project are not very well set up. The interviewees are centered in the shot and at some points move out of shot because the vertical camera frame captures so little. Additionally there is very little visual variety, lacking varying and well employed camera angles, lighting, and shots (detail shots are especially lacking in this video).
