How to Evaluate a Digital Literary Narrative

The first video was very creative and interesting at first to watch. The use of music and words combined with images made it dynamic and informative. It did drag on at the end and would have been better if it were shorter. The second video was shorter than the first and easier to watch. The use of the film strip made the voice over easy to follow and interesting. Like the first video though, it dragged on after a while and was seriously repetitive. The third video was very dynamic because it was done in an informal setting and the story made the video very interesting and fun to watch. It ended at the right time, so it didn't drag on and become boring. The fourth video was interesting in how it began and the topic discussed. The downside was the amount of time that was used to show texting, especially since the audience has a hard time reading the words and thus being distracted from the point. The fifth video was interesting in the difference of how the video was made compared to the others. The use of still images and words made it easy to follow and funny at times. After reviewing these different videos, the idea of having a common grading system seems more complicated than black and white. To grade the videos certain aspects need to be graded. Does the video get across the required point? Is it easy to follow or confusing? And is it interesting to the particular audience? Each of these questions needs to answered to come to a decision in terms of a grade.
