Multimedia Stories

Kayak Polo --> Overall, I did not really like this multimedia package.  I feel like the it was constantly the same shot used.  Although the whole underwater shots are pretty interesting, I don't think the photog did a very good job with a variety of shots, which kind of makes the multimedia package uninteresting.  I feel like the filming was amateur and many more creative shots could have been done.

Musician "What I'm Into" series profile --> This multimedia package was pretty simple.  It showed the different instruments that the man could play.  There were more variety of shots than the kayak feature.  Although this was filmed and edited very simply, I think it did a good job protraying the man's personality and his interest in instruments.

Student's protest --> I really like this multimedia story because the whole story is told through nat sound and the shots the photog took.  Although it was simple, it was acceptable and it made sense.  From the video, you can really understand the students anger.  They video definately raises emotions.

Maggie Wirth: The Singing Waitress --> I really, really like this multimedia project.  Although it's black and white photos, the voice over by Maggie makes the story very energentic and interesting.  The photos were really well-taken and shows lots of emotions that fits perfectly along with the the voice over.

Photographer's Journal: A War's Many Angles --> This was a slidshow of videos that, as a viewe, you had to click through the photos yourself.  The photo and voice over are both extremely intense and shocking.  It's also shocking how calm the photog speaks about the tradegies that he has encountered.  It realy makes you understand that this is normal for the people over there and therefore the story raises emotions.   The photos definately does a good job telling the story and give the viewer a good understanding.
