Video journalism examples

The thing that immediately hit me about the video examples was the detail shots. Just like how our photos needed a detail shot, these examples all had elaborate detail shots that made the video come alive. The bee story started out with a swarm of bees up close. The hail story had extremely textured sound of sluch being shoveled, and the flag story had an incredibly powerful moment where the a flag was dripping wet from the rain, but it looked almost as though it was crying.

Another thing that hit me about these examples was the varieety of the storys. They went from the profound and extraordinary to the house just down the block where the bees had created a hive. The handball story was good because they never told you where it took place. It looked like it could have been almost anywhere in the United States.
