This is a CNN clip of good fall vacation spots. Most of the shots are scenic wide shots that show beautiful landscape of the vacation spot, like Jamaica and North Carolina. However, the last vacation place they talk about, Napa Valley, has some good examples of different sequence shots.

They start talking about Napa Valley at 3:30, then show video clips of the place a few seconds later. The sequence begins with a medium shot of a hot air balloon (3:38-3:43). It's a nice shot to see the fun activities to do in Napa Valley before showing some of the more scenic panoramic shots later. The angle is nice for the hot air balloon because you're looking up at it, so you can really see the motion of it floating away from you on the ground towards the sky. In some cases this could be considered a wide shot, however, comparatively speaking with the upcoming shots of scenery it is a medium shot for this sequence.

Following the medium shot of the balloon are a series of wide shots (3:43-3:51). These are all very scenic shots to show the beauty of the place. These shots have the potential to be boring, but because each little scenic shot is short and isn't just static but pans across a large area, the shots work well with the video.

Then there is another medium shot of a train (3:51-3:53). I'm not sure of the exact purpose of this shot or what it does for the story of the piece—at the time they are discussing transportation and activities to do so it goes along with the topic a bit— but what it really does is break up the scenic shots. There are all these gorgeous shots of Napa Valley, but if you have them in succession one after the other that is extremely boring—people can only appreciate scenery for so long. So the scenic shots have been broken up by this medium train shot to add some action and life to all the scenery.

Because sure enough, right after the train shot there is more scenery (3:53-4:15). Again, they work well because they are not static but move across a wide area.

Finally a tight shot is at the very end of the Napa Valley part (4:15). This is a tight shot of a grape vine, showing the plump grapes and leaves. This shot works well with the video because it breaks up the scenic shots and it puts a picture in the viewer's head of the activities they can do in Napa Valley (the audio is discussing how tourists can harvest grapes in the fall). I'm always a fan of tight shots, but I thought this one was really nice. I liked how it came at the end of the sequence, like a cherry on top of a sundae.
