SouthTown Peanut vendor

By J.J. Bailey

The video story I chose was done by the South Town paper in Illinois. The story focused on the job of a single young man, who has been a peanut vendor at U.S. Cellular field for 6 years. The story was presented well and the footage was interesting. The camera was used well with different points of view, different framed shots, different audio. The audio was rich with natural sounds and the main storytelling device was the subject's interview. That is the one area where I thought the story could have been better. I would have liked the reporters voice and perhaps one or two more subjects. However, the story did a good job of providing information and perspective on the life of a vendor.
