Examples of Good and Bad Multimedia Projects


The Good

An example of a good multimedia project would be Alex Currie's "If Man Were Meant to Fly (Short Film). What makes this so memorable is how cohesive everything was; the transitions weren't sudden, the pauses weren't too long, you wouldn't notice the changes. The framing made sense, there wasn't anything that looked out of place. What the filmmaker intended for the audience to see what in the right position so that you wouldn't have to look for what was happening. The audio was clear and the music that was chosen fit well with the scenes. Everything just felt natural and flowed really well. Each scene made you think about what would happen next to keep your attention. It made you feel connected to the characters on screen, as if you were right there with them. The narration made you feel like you were a part of the character. In just 5 minutes, Alex was able to convey such intense emotions.



The Bad and Ugly

An example of a bad multimedia project would be Terry Moore's "Multimedia Poetry Project (Melinda Poor Example)." What makes this so TERRYble is a number of things. One of them is that you can barely hear the person speaking, the music is way too loud. The music didn't really match the video either. You can't really see the text on screen either. The font that he picked was really difficult to decipher and the text blended into the background. You couldn't really read the text on the screen. The pictures he used for the background also didn't really make that much sense in relation to the video. This was also an example from a teacher of what not to do for their multimedia project on poetry, so it was intentionally made to be terrible.
