Reflection on Election Interviews_ Julie Tatios

Ismael Arcelay of Bethlehem Pa. shares his thoughts about 2012 Election

 

   In my opinion this was my favorite video because of the content that Ismael provided in his interview. I think that what he said was different from others that we had interviewed and that he gave an enthusiastic and informative amount of information regarding the election. The backdrop of the bricks isn't terrible but I think it could be improved so that it could provide more contextual information for the viewer. The beginning of the interview is cut off, which again adds to small imperfections within in the video, but overall I think the purpose of journalism and communicating visually is to find and relay informative and interesting content for the public. Interview with Jovan Campbell; he voted to have better healthcare and affordable education.

 

   This was a another video I liked most. I think the lighting outside is great and compositionally I think the video looks nice. The background includes the entrance to a voting facility which is very appropriate considering the topic of the interview. The posing of the questions was a little shaky at times and calls for some improvement but I think overall it was shot well compositionally and the content Jovan provided was good. _____________________________________________________________________________
  
   In comparison to the first time we set out to gather interviews, this set is much better. It includes
the name of the people, the questions are posed so that the viewer can understand what is being asked of the interviewee. The composition, including the background, the lighting, the positioning of the subject etc.. is much better. The sound has some issues and should be improved. What I think is really important is to make your subject feel comfortable with what they are doing, so that they can give you a clear and succinct answer that is attention grabbing for your viewers.
