Top Videos for the Project

Class,
After calculating your votes (3 points for 1st place, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd place) the winners for top 2 videos are: No. 1  Huizhen & Jialin ; No. 2 Qige .  They will get 2  extra points for the project.



  
I chose Qige video to be 1st among the class because even though she didn't voice her own voice in the video but it was very creative. She made like a cartoon talking about the environment issue which I thought was very interesting and no one else had done it. I chose Lily video as 2nd among the class because she talked loudly and clearly and she said a lot of interesting detailed things about her topic. Also she had images in the background which help show what she is trying to say. Finally I chose jia and jenny as 3rd among the class because like Lily they have pictures related to their topic in the background and they narrate about there topic. But the reason why I chose them behind Lily was because I feel like it sometimes hard to hear what they are saying and that they don't have a proper introduction to their video.
1. Their picture and their sentence flow go really well together, and they were really in sync with each other. 2.Qige ' s video was also very good, she had subtitles but she spoke a little too low, so I couldn't really hear her. 3.Susan's and Amy's video was also very good, but Amy didn't speak .Susan did really well, as well as Amy, as both have subtitles, but Amy should have spoke into the video.
Qige has really organized with her video. Also has a very funny video and it is detailed too. Bryan, Jiajie, Emily Chen and Yonglin video is very detailed and has a lot of examples. Lily has a really loud and clear voice. Her video is very organized.
yonglin 那组说的和写的很专业。他们也有很多详细的证据。 Qige的影片很有创意。她把影片做成了故事,和别人的都不同。 lily 的影片很整齐,也可以听的很清楚她在说什么
1. It doesn't have background noise and it contain musics. There are also many images shown. The squeaky voice is a bit annoying. 2. It's fluent and talks to the viewer. The video also indicates sections of the video. It could be a bit louder. 3. I heard transitions word and the video is okay in fluency. The video talks about a lot of information. The video could've been better if background noise was removed.
Qige 的视频很有创意,她做了一个小故事。 她的因果很明显。 Lily 给了很多解决问题的方法。 她加了很多照片让我们看一下我们人类是这么破坏我们的地球。 Bryan, Jiajie, Emily, 和 Yonglin 的信息非常详细。他们把每一件东西都解释的很清楚.
I believe Jia Lin and Jenny's video is rank 1st is because they are clear and they had thought provoking ideas that I understand. Also, they added music that I like in the background and followed the requirements. Even though Jackie went beyond 3 minutes but his ideas were clear and he spoke slowly for us t understand. Even though he didn't have pictures but by speaking clear and slow we can understand it easier. Vivian was a bit quiet but using the whiteboard made the video likable. She also gave data which was nice and made her ideas clearer.
Jenny and Jia Lin first because the information was very detailed, had data. Their background music was low so we could still hear clearly whats being said. They paused at certain parts to help emphasize on things and make it more interesting. Bryan, Jiajie, Emily Chen and Yonglin second because during Bryan's part it was very slow which makes the person watching it bored. Their information was also very detailed, described lots of effects. Thus, getting second place. Herry third because his information was also very detailed, mentioned a lot of effects. His voice is also very clear and pronunciation is accurate, however he's monotone throughout thus unable to fully capture the attention of the person watching the video.
The videos were really informative. The way the information was presented was organized and clear. The presenting tone of the videos was clear and flowing.
As a non native, Amelia tried,she showed effort, and her background was pretty. Kevin's background looks creepy and dark, perhaps to illustrate that his environmental issue has many negative impacts. Jialin and Jenny's video catches readers attention with nice cartoon pictures.
JiaLin+Jenny-it is very fun to watch because of the voices. Also the video is detailed and helped me learned a lot about the topic. Lily-it is also very detailed, I like the pictures she chose. The pictures matche what she's saying and it really help me follow along. Emily+Stephanie-I like how they started with an introduction of who they are. Also unlike other videos, they have better graphic.
I like qige's video because it's creative that she used animation. I like jackie's because his words are clear. I like Amelia's because 她很努力
Kevin effectively memorized his main points and addressed it clearly in his video. Moreover, he also shows his understanding by explaining very clearly the problems of smog and possible call to actions. Hongda was able to efficiently and bluntly state his points without wasting too much time. To top it off, he also included subtitles which made it easier to understand what he was saying. Amelia was able to complete the assignment with multiple tries and also without any mistakes that strongly affected her project. She was also able to contribute pictures into her video.
I rate Amy and Susan's video 1st because the video explain all aspects of vehicle emissions.It is supported with many pictures and charts. I rate Qige's video 2nd because the video give a good introduction and summary of water pollution. It also stated the different causes, effects, solutions of water pollution. I rate Jenny and Jia Lin's video 3rd because the video give sufficient information on the causes,effects, and solutions of smog. There is also many pictures.
I like Susan and Amy's because the video quality and audio quality made it easy to comprehend. Also I edited their's I like Bryan, Yong Lin, Emily C., and Jia Jie's video because it was really long and detailed. Also I was in the video too. I liked Hongda's video because the subtitles made it easy to follow. But the audio quality wasn't too good.
Amelia is my first choice because she worked hard writing the script and filming it. Also, she had trouble uploading it. Jia Jie's video was my second choice because I enjoyed it. Bryan's video was my third choice because it was kind of funny to watch and they had appropriate pictures.
ok?
Jenny的发音很标准。而且她跟Jialin配合的很好。Lily的video非常的整洁。一口气说完所有。Herry的voiceover 很好听。
The videos have a loud clear voice with accurate pronunciation. It also talks thoroughly about the environmental issue including the cause, effect, and solution
Qige obviously spent a lot of time choosing each image and figure. In addition she had music and voices for her characters. Wyman did a lot of research and I thought his video was very sophisticated. The presentation and format was very professional. Lastly, Jialin and Jenny did a cute clip probably for informing younger audiences. You can clearly tell they put a lot of effort into designing the video.
