Pre-Video Assignment, Perkins

Good Multimedia Project
"South Korea's Next Generation of Speed"- New York Times
This video, which documents the life and training of young South Korean skaters, is an example of a good multimedia project. The video is the perfect length, just over four and a half minutes, to tell a story, while also keeping the viewers attention. This video has a good balance of the background music, audio from the interviews, and natural noise. Although the interviews are conducted in Korean, the English translations are listed on the bottom with text that is clear and easy to read. The transitions between interviews and clips of the athletes skating are very smooth and natural. Overall, this project does a great job telling the viewer a story and it makes the viewer want to root for these kids and hope that they achieve their goals.


Bad Multimedia Project
"Poetry Multimedia Project"

This was an example of a bad multimedia project. Even though this video was only three minutes long, it didn't keep my attention for more than a minute. There is no natural noise in this project and the background music that is played doesn't fit well with the images of nature and beautiful scenery. Furthermore, the text that accompanied the pictures constantly changes font and color, which makes it difficult for the viewer to read the poem. In conclusion, this video had no storyline and its random combination of text, music, and graphics made it very hard to pay attention for the full three and a half minutes of the video.
