Learn to skate

The last video I watched was called learn to skate. It told a story about a college hockey team teaching kids how to skate. The story wasn't told very effectively. I have no idea what college it was and there were other questions that were left unanswered for me. The video they used was good, but the story wasn't told very well.

Wells eviction

The fourth video I watched was called Wells eviction. It told the story of people living in a health hazardous building being kicked out of the building. It showed the point of view of the people evicting the tenants, and it also showed the point of view of the tenants as they scrambled to move. I thought that the video was done very well, except for the large number of jump cuts that were in there. The story was told from both points of view and was told effectively.

Slipping and Sliding

The third video I watched was called slipping and sliding. It was about a woman who was driving her car and slid off the road near McCleary, don't know where that is, and there was no damage to her car. It landed straight up and down on a ridge and the only thing damaged was her front license plate. The story had her talking and showed the cops and tow truck pulling her car back onto the road. Sure the story would have been better to see her car actually swerve off the road, but it is hard to always get those things on film. Overall the story was told effectively.

Polar bear jump

The second video I watched was called Polar bear jump. It documented a charity event in which people jump into the water in Portage Lakes State Park during the winter to raise nearly $22,000 for the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. The video has interviews with the people putting the event on as well as some of the participants. The video then shifts to footage of people jumping into the freezing water. The story was told fairly well. They explained what they were doing and showed the people jumping in, but I felt there was more to the story that they could have shared.

One-armed soccer kid

The first video I watched was called one-armed soccer kid. It told the story of a boy in California who was born with his left arm only to the elbow. It showed interviews with his soccer coach and his father, and it showed clips and photographs of him during soccer games. The story told was one of success despite the fact that he only had one arm. The story was told very effectively.
