  1. @ T03 Kobe, Dorothy,Talos, Airi- I love the way you all used technique of fast-forwarding, while writing on the white board! It effectively showed your procedure and was fun to watch! 🙂

  2. Nice interviews
    Can be improved by better preparation on speaking in the video and more adequate background music can be used.

  3. Response To: T03 Gordon, Louis, Kit ,Gibran
    The video content is well organised. In the introduction part, the fast forward screen makes me feel busy. It matches multitasking.

  4. @T03 Kobe, Dorothy,Talos, Airi- I think the visual images for transition are beautiful and it is very good that the interviewees has so much time to express their views. I also appreciate for using drawing for presentation and I like the conclusion because it is so positive! Nice job!

  5. They have done a detailed survey and use B-roll to express their findings. It is an interesting documentary, which fully shows how they investigated their topic.

  6. T03 King Kong, Ivan, Hailey, Yin,It’s good that students are invited randomly to do experiment(playing multi-tasks online) in podium, because it makes readers feeling that the public can be easily involved.

  7. I would comment at T03 King Kong, Ivan, Hailey, Yin.
    I think the voice of narrator and Professor are very soft and flat so that I can’t concentrate on listening to them. Also, interview 2 is a bit long so it is so boring. I think the narrator and professor should practice more their scripts.
    For the visual aids, I think they make good use of the some related scenes and photos to enrich the video.
    Also, I think the content is good.

  8. The interview part is too long, and less visual and sound effect, it may make the audiences feel bored. However,the second multitasking game is quite interesting. And the conclusion which suggests that multitasking can be learned is also quite attractive.

  9. These video are very interesting, I like the background song which they use. Also , I can see that they spend a lot of time on it.
    Most of them are good at english, good pronunciation and speaking skills. I believe they can be improved with some special shooting skills.

  10. T03 Clark, Ian and Bhavya: Nice filming and effects, but the music volume was a little bit too loud, anyway that my opinion, overall good work 🙂

  11. The viode of T03_King Kong, Ivan, Hailey, Yin
    The film is quite organized with humorous points.
    Also, it has good visual aspect
    Yet, the video is quite long (5-7 mins in instruction).

  12. @Gordon, Louis, Kit ,Gibran Good video that move from a question to a final result. However, the hypothesis is not obvious as the hypothesis is male is a better multitasker than female and multitasking ability can be trained. I got the hypothesis at the later part. It is better to show it at the beginning. The graph should not be moving or zoning as it is hard to study the graph. For example, the first few graphs are zoning from large to small, I can’t catch the tittle which is usually the first place for viewer to look at. Overall, the video is good and fun, especially the game part.

  13. Can’t agree more about Bhavya’s saying. The fast-forward skill is quite unique and creative.Also, I think some effects,PiP objects are so amazing and enrich the whole video!Besides,the flow of the video is smooth and the organization is great.
    Well Done.

  14. I watched the first video of T03. It is a nice job.
    The interview part of the video is very detailed, however, it takes a little bit too long to show all the individual interviews. It is recommended that the summary or the most important parts of the interviews should be shown instead of putting all in to the video.
    Moreover, the video has clear voice overall. To further improve, more background music can be used to make to video less boring.

  15. For T03 Gordon, Louis, Kit ,Gibran:

    The video is nice overall.
    The interview part of the video is very detail. However, it takes a little bit too long since all the interviews are included in the video. I recommend to sort out the most iomportant replies of the interviewees.
    Besides, the voice of the video is generally clear.
    But to have further improvement of the video, more background music should be used to make the video more interesting to watch.

  16. I am going to comment on the group T03 Clark, Ian, Bhavya.
    I think that the opening which interviews student views on sleeping is quite interesting.
    It is professional to include the graph and data on student time spent on different electornic devices
    And it is good to interview a large group of people
    At the end there is also a statistic to show relationship on technology use and sleeping
    Further, there is a good animation to explain the biology sience on sleeping.

  17. @T03 Kobe, Dorothy,Talos, Airi
    Among the above four documentaries, I think your documentary is the best.
    The most attractive thing is your background music, this really make me to enjoy your documentary.
    But, at the same time, I think you should not use the background music all the time especially for the part of interview. This is because I cannot concentrate on hearing to the interviewees.
    Besides, the organization of content, the voice of performers and the visual effects of the documentary are also good. I can feel that all of you have put a lot of effort on your project.
    Finally, thank you for your sharing!

  18. T03 Kobe, Dorothy,Talos, Airi

    I think their contents are well organized and have been well edited though there are too many footages or photos come from the internet. Overall this is a good video.

  19. Comment for T03 Kobe, Dorothy, Talos, Airi

    The effect you use is quite attractive and the voice overall is easy to hear. i would like to appreciate the effect of fast play method, which is a creative presenting skill and the background music is appropriate. Good Job !!
