"Intel Vietnam" is apparently the second-most recent video at the San Jose Mercury News' mercurynews.com, and it's worth a watch for a couple of reasons. First, the video opens with an informative detail shot, which reminded me of what Professor Johnson mentioned in class on Tuesday about being mindful of the opening shot when editing video footage; the video, which is about an Intel chipset factory in Vietnam, opens with a shot of an Intel name tag with a Vietnamese name on it. Secondly, the video integrates more stills (or possibly screen captures) than video, and it works well. The video also uses an interesting framing technique while presenting a typical video interview, wherein the video presents the interviewee in a small box to the left side of the screen and fills the rest of the screen with a black background with white text beside the interview box explaining who the person is. I thought that was a pretty simple way to avoid the usual boring straight-up video interview-with-text-box-at-bottom deal.
The video itself doesn't appear to be linkable, but you can find it by clicking on "browse more" on the video window, below the main story and photo.
