Multimedia #2: How My Last Class Did It

If you're looking for some examples of people who were at the same stage you're at now. Let's look at some of the groupings!

Sam: beyond coal video General comments: Video: Watch your spellings! One video caption has a misspelling.


Jessy: roommate conflicts video General comments: Video***: Notice the back-and-forth use of sound bytes, where you talk to one person, then another, then go back to the first person. It's more conversational and generally preferable to using everything someone has to say all at once.

Darcie: protest video General comments: Video***: note the use of narration to help keep the story moving between sound bytes.


Julianne: restaurant video  General comments: Video*** Nice use of b-roll and neutral experts! The latter turns what could have been a one-sided puff piece into something more analytical.


Stefany: speaker video General comments: Video***: This was a tough assignment, in that you were reporting on a speech that already took place. Smart back-tracking in getting an interview with the speaker, reactions from people who were in the audience.





BriAnn: dodgeball fundraiser video / General comments: Video***: Good use of b-roll and nice use of yourself as an on-camera narrator. But remember as journalists we need to present ourselves neutrally, which means don't wear a Greek shirt when doing a NEWS story about Greek life.

Julia: holiday creep video


Connor: Dorm security video General comments: Video: a little more b-roll, pleez!
