Reflect on how you think this film was created
The videos were made well. The things that they were reporting were being showed in the video they have to give an effect and an idea of what it really is like.

How were interviews used?
The interview was used to give more evidence of what is going on and to have a visual of what it is like in the area where it is affected. Also, what it feels like and how the residents of that area are dealing with.

What transitions were used?
Fade and most times no transitions at all.

What graphics/logos/effects were used?
They were used as transitions for what they are talking about (ex. Superstorm sandy) and how severe the storm was. Also, as an introduction to the story.

How was text used?
The texts used were located closer to the bottom of the screen in noticeable, bold font to attract the audience’s attention.

What were the camera shots and angles?
Zoom and chest shot. 

How effective were they used?
The zoom focuses on the subject, emphasizing the importance. Chest shots were used on the reporters.

How was audio used to reinforce the message and the video?
The audio of the speakers were clear and were easy to understand. The voice of the person who is in the actual setting of the storm is somewhat faded because of the storm but still understandable. The storm can be heard through the microphone, showing how strong it is.

How were Still Images used? If so, how?
Yes. The still images used were of maps to dictate where the area where the Haiti earthquake was in order to give a visual.
