Top 5 Internet Mini movies

This particular video on the internet was my clear favourite, as the use of animation and humour together made the video entertaining yet insightful. Clearly, the video made use of technology, as animation programmes were used and was iconic in its own way. Also the video was unique and appeal to an older audience, which was interesting. Though, the inclusion of some facts and useful information went amiss , but all in all the humour and clever animation made it worthwhile.



This internet safety video was effective in informing the audience about the internet; its pros and cons were also clearly addressed. I felt that the interviews with the teenage audience was effective, as they gave thier views on the internet and discussed the flaws about the internet. The use of technology was more practical, as video cameras were used, which made the video more authentic. In comparison to the other videos, the use of cuts and wipes created a subtle balance between text and interviews, which made it successful.



I felt that the use of music which accompanied the video was more upbeat, which went well with the continual cuts and changing images. Though, the video did manage to inform the audience about the internet , as some facts were mentioned, which made it informative. However, the video could have been slightly longer and could have had one or two more facts. Though, the speed of the slides could have been slower as the facts went too quickly. Also, the use of technology could have been improved as only images and text was included, which made it sound.



I felt that this video was original, in terms of its soundtrack of the MSN sounds and did inform the audience about the Internet, due to the inclusion of facts from sources such as The Daily Mail, BBC News and others alongside the rolling images. However, the balance of facts and images was inconsistent, as there was too much text at times and a lack of images. On the contrary, the video did make use of multiple technologies such as the video camera and Windows Movie Maker programme. Interestingly, the interviews with different age groups was effective, as different views about the internet were shared , though the sound could have been improved, as there were inconsistencies at times.



Finally, this internet video was visually engaging, however the absence of facts and too many images let it down. The constant rolling of images did not fully inform the audience and looked amateurish at times. Though, the level of creativity was limited, as facts would have made it slightly better, as the audience could find out new information. The use of sound was suitable alongside the speed of the images. By only using Windows Movie Maker, the video was quite basic and lacked originality, in comparison to the other videos which created a balance of text, image and video camera content.
