Pre-Video Assignment, Weaver

Good Video:


This video has a really strong story line, documenting Brandon Stanton as he explains the origins of Humans of New York. It keeps the viewers engaged with a mix of interview footage, voice overs, and natural audio. Additionally, all the video is crisp and well lit, with angles that make the viewer feel like they're taking part in the scene. 

Not-So-Good Video:


This video relies on video in combination with text and background music. While I think the video has an important message, it feels long, drawn out, and boring. The types of footage used is repetitive (mostly wide overview shots) and failed to hold my attention. Additionally, the film quality was sometimes pretty low. Overall the project would have benefited from some more variety (in sound, perspective, or music) to add some visual interest and really emphasize its message.
