Video Questions

1. While watching the "Mom Song" video the camera angle changed on average about 6 times in a 10 second time frame. The "Ask a Ninja" video changed many times during a 30 second time frame, I tallied approximately 14 camera angle changes. So about every 2 seconds the camera angle changed to something different.

2. The rule of thirds was more visible in the "Ask a Ninja" video because the scenery in the video allowed you to focus more on teh ninja, whereas in the "Mom Song" video there were more props in the video to view.

3. The shot selection in both videos was important. The shot selection in the "Mom Song" video was primarily important in order to emphasize the reaction of the audience. The shot selection emphasized the dialogue of the ninja during the "Ask a Ninja" video.
I think that kids would be a little more distracted by the ninja video because the the camera angle changed many times in a 30 second time period, but I think that the continuous camera angle change would keep the kids interested because they would never know where the ninja would be on the screen.

4. On the "Ask a Ninja" video, there were two formats in which could view the video: Quicktime and Flash. When I watched the video in the flash format, I was able to watch it instantly when I clicked to view in this format. But when I clicked to watch the video in Quicktime, I had to install the quicktime software in order to view the video.
By watching the video in both formats, I believe that the video was clearer and had less pauses in it when watching it on quicktime. When I tried to watch the video on flash, the video kept pausing every few seconds so I was only able to watch the video in snip its.
