"Letting go of the American Dream" from MSNBC.
I enjoyed this video piece, which deals with the economy and home ownership, for a number of reasons. First, it is relevant and significant to all people in this country, especially with the elections coming up. They video also makes very well use of infographics that look professional and are easy to follow, which is expected from a news source like NBC Nightly News. The video has a wide variety of shots, switching between them fast, but also lingering when relevant. A good mix like this keeps viewers interesting, I feel. Like any good news piece, the video utilizes a variety of sources, from homeowners to finance experts, providing a broad view of the issue. I think to improve on the video, the producers could have elaborated on how the issue varies all over the country. Is it different in certain regions? I think as a written story, this piece would have been more focused on the numbers, and been less interesting to most readers/viewers.
