The first thing that struck me about the winning video was
the strong introduction. Lina grabbed the audience’s attention with a strong narrative,
addressing who she was interviewing and what she was going to be interviewing
about. I loved all the different shots, varying from shots of Abby swinging to
Abby stretching. I enjoyed seeing all the scenery, and the shots changed every
couple seconds so the viewer was never bored. I also liked how Lina showed
shots of Abby’s father helping her, so it tied in Abby’s father as Lina’s
second source. The part I enjoyed the most was how Lina ended her video, with
all the different shots of Abby and her father hitting the ball, it just tied
everything together. The last shot of the golf cart driving away was really
creative and completed the video.
The audio was good and flowed, it was never too loud or too
quiet, it fit the mood. The wide variety of shots kept the video interesting.
The voiceovers flowed really naturally and enhanced the story for the viewer.
As the viewer, I got to know the subject of the video and I felt very satisfied
at the end of it.
