Pre-Video Assignment, Jordan Cox

 Good Example:  https://youtu.be/BCqJCOWUc-Q

I found this short film a good example of a multi-media project for various reasons. Firstly, I really think that the intro grabs the audience's attention with the close up shots of the dog and intense music. I also think it has a good use of laying audio on top of the videos in addition to the audios that match with the actual videos. The interviews frame the subject in the outside third like we discussed in class. Overall, there was also great video an audio quality. Additionally, there is a good contrast between the videos showing the dog’s sensitive/family side and his aggressive side when he is working, which also switches between shots/scenes with music or just the natural sounds from the video.

I am not a fan of this short clip discussing a Mentor Program. There is no hook to draw the audience in, the person speaking and being interviewed is looking straight into the camera, and the music is way too loud in the background, making it hard for me to focus on what the person is saying.  It is also one singular shot the entire time, and I think it could have incorporated other shots to make it more exciting for us to watch.
