News Videos

This is an interesting video due to its very aggressive nature and strong visuals. What I connect with in the piece is narration. His voice and dictation are professional, but there is a hint of concern or desperation that changes the overall feel of the story. It almost comes off as he is the audience himself.

The reporting on this video is engrossing. Instead of feeling forced and scripted, it instead feels very natural and thoughtful. The subject matter is questionable and controversial, so the humanistic approach works to its benefit.

The final video is in my wheelhouse in that it is just recaps and reviews of the new movies that were released over the weekend. Video is a great medium for these kinds of pieces in that there can be an audible narrative review while showing a sample of a subject that relies so heavily on visuals.
