Video Sequencing

Wide
In this shot of the gay pride parade where marchers pretended to be dead in order to promote their cause, that HIV services should not be taken away since it would inadvertantly cause the deaths of many homosexuals, the journalist gets a shot of the streetway, the buildings and all the people, with their signs. It creates a crowded, hectic feeling.

Medium
This shot brings the camera closer to the journalist, with those people immediately near her and the bodies surrounding her at her feet. There are people lined up and their standing figures neatly line the middle-upper portion of the shot, leaving a small line at the top for air. I feel like this is a good medium shot due to that space at the top, which keeps it from feeling crowded.

1:00
Close
The journalist brings it in closer, with standing figures filling and not fitting into the shot, with signs, arms and bodies partially obscuring the vantage point, making it a little bit more difficult to see where everything is. This shot furthers the feeling of the enthusiastic crowd that was emphasized in the wide shot, so I thought that this cohesion was good.
