Taylor Newman
This informance movie featured interesting facts about the
city of Indianapolis. This is actually a city I used to live in so I was
familiar with many of the images shown throughout the movie. Taylor did a good
job of addressing all of the aspects required for this project. She included
media impact when explaining how the media’s view of the city has increased the
population. She addressed the culture of consumerism through mentioning the
various events that take place in Indianapolis. She featured many beautiful
photos of the city, like the one shown above, that illustrate how the human
experience is enhanced. Also she focused on particular businesses that attract
tourists and help define the city as a whole. Overall, I thought the images and
videos she chose were effective in exemplifying her points. Her inflection
could have been more pronounced, but that would be my only criticism.

This movie focused on the Myrtle Beach
attraction, Wonderworks. In my opinion this video was less effective at
addressing the key points from the rubric. Although each one of the questions
was mentioned there was not enough information or in-depth analysis. I also
think that the quality of the videos she used and the choice to not provide any
voice over hurt her presentation overall. The piece was informative but I did
not get a sense that this was a film about the design behind Wonderworks. I
wanted to learn about the creation and development of the designs chosen,
since, like the picture seen above, they are so unique. The portion when the
man was speaking simply describing the park detracted from the focus of the
piece, and moved it away from design elements to an advertisement.
Both of these films focused on a particular location, and
they represent how crucial it is to find a central focus when the topic is a
large place. The first film felt more cohesive and implemented better editing
tools than the second.
