Scholl Video

I really enjoyed Scholl's first video on the hail storm. With a meteorological event, everyone who was affected by the event knows what's happened. Scholl uses that common experience well in the first video, as he doesn't add any voice overs for the story. He lets the people, the nat sound and the images tell the story, which makes it a much stronger way to convey the story to people who probably went through similar experiences.

He does a great job of framing his subjects. The images of the bee crawling on the camera, the girl's eyes when she's waiting for her brother at the airport, and the racquetball moving are all really creative and well-framed shots. He doesn't do too much panning with the camera, but he's able to show an entire scene by editing lots of different shots into the story. It's clear that he's taken video from just about every angle while reporting.

In several of the videos, he gives credit to the photojournalist who came with him. I've heard that done at least once on KOMU, but why doesn't that happen more often?
