YouTube Version

Here it is on YouTube as well. Watch it in high quality, it looks better.

Discontent in Durham

Here is the final edited version of my project. I tried to make a few of the text slides a little bit longer, as someone told me they were a little short last time. Also, I fixed a few typos throughout the video. I also changed the video at the end to one that was a little more stable and fixed the ending credits so it would look better.
A couple things about the projects. I know I talked a little about this in my last post, but I was very impressed overall with the projects all together. Each one had a clear point and purpose, and many of them provide the audience with a reason to care about the person or people in the video. I generally felt bad for the people who couldn't scallop anymore, or who needed help from the food pantry, or for the people who lived to play music at the stone church. Each story may have had their own angles, but each gave us a reason to care. I am amazed at the progress made by each student in the class, and I love how the project was a culmination of the year.

Finally, I just wanted to say thank you to you Sandy. Your class was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed learning about the various aspects of multimedia journalism from you and the other people who made a trip to our class this semester. So I thank you for that.

1st Round of Multimedia Presentations

After reading Sandy's blog post, I have to somewhat agree. In the classes leading up to when we had to present our final projects, there were many problems that students were coming across throughout nearly the entire class. I was half expecting many of the people to not have much of a project.
Boy when we saw the videos, was I impressed. The quality of much of the videoes was incredible, and made me realize that when I was presenting my video, it had to be fantastic to keep up with many of them. I was honestly impressed. More to come after the second day.
