Editorial Report 13b

Editing is always a difficult task because when I am producing content, I think about my options for a long time and then decide how to organize the material. And once I commit to that, I often do not want to change things up.

For this segment, I knew what my weak spots were, so I worked on fixing those issues,

This is probably the last edit I will make before I add it to my final cut.

Rough version:


Revised version:


How did the content change? Why do you think the content is being communicated more effectively?
  • I added a slide stating "Some background information", this serves as a transition between sections and organizes my argument, the audience is able to follow along
  • I also added a concluding slide where I share the Medlife website, which is the organization I traveled with and that I am talking about
  • This gives the audience a little place to relax and pause and maybe look up some additional information if desired before continuing

How did the form change? Why do you think the form is presenting the content more effectively?
  • I kept the form mostly the same because I liked the zooming in of the pictures and the array of transition, I think the overall presentation of this segment is easy on the eyes, which helps with audience engagement
  • I added some upbeat music to the beginning and end, this more effectively communicates the content because it reflects the tone of my argument, and sets a mood for the audience to follow

  1. I found your section very interesting and informative. I think that you used the conventions for video essays very well. The zooming in and background music were effective at grabbing my attention and were not overwhelming. I do think that you could use more captions though in order to get the most out of the genre convention that you can. Otherwise great job!

  2. Bianca, your video was sweet. The transitions were very well done and the music was not distracting at all. Great job!
