Video Story Reviews

Classmate's Reviews:

Lauren F.- "UPJ Campus Tour":

My favorite part of Lauren's video was the view out of the window from high up in a building looking down on our campus. It was a beautiful shot! Lauren also had fun music playing in the background. She had many panning shots and walking video shots that really captured the greatness our campus has to offer.

Jacey- "Story for Noone":

I really enjoyed how Jacey had some of the same clips spread out throughout the video and came back to them to finish capturing the memory. I wish I would have thought of something like that, it was really effective! I also liked the narration scene, how she used her shadow as she walked while introducing her story.

Brandon- "One Last Time":

Brandon used a lot of ground scenes made to be eye level by placing the camera on the ground. He also had a close up smoking scene and an upside down scene. I really like that Brandon expressed some suspense and darkness in his voice as the narrator. I also thought the blank screen was really effectively used in moments of description or thought.

Lauren- "A Place to Call Home":

Lauren had a lot of panning of the gym in her video. I thought that was an effective way to get a glimpse of the gym she saw many times in her coaching career. The close up scan of the gymnastics girls on the wall was also well done in helping the viewer get a sense of what a place she calls home is like. My favorite part was the closing line of narration when she stated the address and explained it is a place she considers home.

Jeff- "O Negative"

Jeff used pictures in black and white and also pictures from older times which showed the time period. I like how he used clips from the film and used narration to get his analysis of the film across to the viewers.

Melanie- "New Romantics"

This was a music video put together using a Taylor Swift song. She used different camera angles as following the girl around in her room. She included clips of texting and scrolling through Instagram. My favorite was the clip that was filmed through the side of the mirror during makeup.

Sean- "Alone and Thankful":

This video began with a clip following a person and dog walking on railroad tracks. I liked the time lapse and sped up parts through the nature trails. I also liked how in the video, the audience could hear the leaves crunching as the people walked over them. My favorite part was the clip at the end with the dark tunnel looking scene. It looked so cool with the light coming in around the person's body.
