Good project:
I thought that this video was an example of a good multimedia project. It starts by giving a clear setting that really draws your attention in from the bustling city to the smaller restaurants and shops, eventually focusing in enough so that the viewer can see the hallmarks of the COVID-19 pandemic (masks, plastic shields, empty streets, etc). When the subject begins to speak, I was a little surprised to not hear English, but I appreciate the choice because it shows the culture of the owners of Spicy Village. As the video went on, I liked the comparison between pre-pandemic life and current times, along with the backdrop of the Chinese New Year. There were a variety of shots and footage of the restaurant and people, all while the subject described her experiences. This multimedia project really showed off the struggle of Chinese restaurants due to coronavirus and had a strong emotional appeal, in my opinion.
Bad project:
I thought that this video was an example of a bad multimedia project. The vlogging angles are odd and the lingering shots on the ground while walking were unnecessary. A lot of the camera work was shaky because the creator was holding the phone. In addition, the sound varied a lot based on the location of the video (car/store/parking lot), with a good amount of background noise. Overall, I think this video was poorly made and lacks an interesting story and editing.
