TV-Video Critique

Before spring break (which seems like eons ago...like the last time I posted on here), my J198 group and I made a TV-style video about the snow storm. It seemed ironic watching this video again with a sunburn fresh from the glorious weekend weather, but nevertheless, we critiqued it. The strengths/weaknesses we noticed were pretty much what we noticed when we submitted the assignment, but it was a good first attempt. Next time we make a video, we will get closer to the interviewee in order to get better audio & video quality, use environmental shots for the lead-in and lead-outs, and be more conversational with the reading of the voiceover. We will continue to do what we did well in this video, which was producing a story with a strong narrative guided by short interview clips.

This Friday, we will be going to a local homeless shelter in Bethlehem to start a TV-style news video that will go toward our final semester project. I'll check back then to relay the experience.
