Video Compositions

In my Interactive  Journalism class we were told to go to www.nytimes.com and watch some videos. I watched a video called "Out Of Work In China." The video starts off with a shot of the Chinese citizens and chattering in Chinese. The narrator soon comes in and starts narrating the story. It shows a lot of them in line, waiting to get paid for their jobs and close up shots of a Chinese woman stamping papers. The shots are all very steady. There are interviews with good spacing of the person and the background features which evens out. In the interviews there are voice overs of people translating Chinese into English, too.
