My favorite Literacy Narrative is "Words, Magic." This is my favorite because I actually didn't lose interest. At no time during the video am I like, "Wow! This blows!" The other thing I like about "Words, Magic" is that the guy is smart. He is articulating the abstract idea and even includes humor.
My least favorite one is the one with the children books. The girl says everyone is amazing and she has SO MANY! The video just keeps going and going and it is the same thing over and over again for each one. Also the pictures she used were low quality and looked horrible. I feel the girl did the project the night before it was due.
Our videos should be creative. Many people have never made or edited video and this should be taken into account. I feel the videos should have a couple different scenes, not just the same for the whole video. Also, there should be no mess-ups in voice overs. Those are so easy to fix and are so horribly distracting.

Project 2 Review
Cassie April
One thing I learned is that the credential of the author's is of high importance in the subject of cooking. Of course a chief who has experience, schooling, and a name is going to know more about cooking and the complexities of sushi. Authors of hard copies (books) receive more credit due to the fact they have a dedicated section of the book for biography.

Visuals provide credibility for food texts. It seems that the most respected sites and the sites viewers are most likely to try are the sites that look the best and have the best looking pizza. Video is a great way to describe the cooking process. It lets the viewer see the technique, allowing them to reproduce it much easier.
Adam Ward
The interesting thing is that Adam's text is that they are also very visual. The text I would most likely to follow would be the YouTube videos. The provide the best visuals and even show the extremely complex techniques required to build a guitar. Again, I think having good visuals also increases credibility of the website. I, as a viewer, am most likely to follow a guide that looks good and provides great visuals with the different steps.
Austen Willis
Again, I learned how visual affects the viewer. In this case I learned that the color scheme of Roger Ebert attracts a much older crowd. Roger Ebert's site will not rise to the top in today's market. The leader's in today's market are upbeat and colorful with much contrast. Many of today's largest sites also include animations, trailers, and other moving pictures.
Top Site... Cassie April
Her site is the most professional. It is clearly laid out. The viewer can easily navigate through her texts. The menus system is clean and easy to use and is tied together with the "Top of page" link at the bottom of each other of her texts.
