Bad example

This post is good because it highlights how tornadoes can be captured up close, without harming the cameraman. In addition it shows sounds very well too, something a typical user may need to practice. The steady hand of the recorder was important to me and this was done to perfection, as there was no noticeable wobble or shaking. I liked the variety of media types because this allowed for my focus to be constantly on the video. There was also fantastic angles used having me see the view and the focus properly. The sequence really tied it all in together as it seemed like a logical flow from start to finish. With all these elements we discussed in class and beyond in class, there is no doubt this example is a good multimedia example

This is an example of a poor example because the quality is grainy, and it is difficult to follow along with. In addition, some of the camera angle and transitions are poor. They often run into each other and seem cut and forced. The audio is a bit poor, which I find to be important because I do not want to watch something that I cannot hear. Based on what we discussed in class, the headspace is too plentiful in the latter, and that takes away from the project. Lastly, the end frame has many microphones seen which seems almost like a rough draft rather than a polished copy. Having all these elements that take away from the film, it leaves no doubt that this is a bad multimedia example.
