I selected a Diamondback multimedia piece on the Obama rally on campus. There are some things the reporter did very well and others that could use improvement. First off, the reporter did a great job of interviewing a variety of students-- people of varying ages with differing opinions. Also, the reporter had close-up face shots, medium shots of people in line, and far away shots of Obama in the arena. Of the close-up interview shots, the reporter oftentimes did a good job of keeping the speaker in one third and off-center in the shot. Also, the transitions were smooth.
The reporter could have vastly improved the piece by using a tripod. Many of the shots were great, but as the viewer, I was dizzy watching them. A steady film by tripod could have completely solved this issue, because the unsteady filming took away from the content.
Overall, I think this is a good effort by multimedia students, but with some polishing, could have been a more professional-looking video.
