Self-Promotional Video

Zoe Wal 3/18/08
1. The self-promo video helped Trent get his name out there for consideration. Having this homemade video influencing employers, it helped him land a job with little effort after production!
2.The employer said that with a video he got a sense of creativity and attitude, which you cannot do on paper alone. Trent's video stood out, which landed him an interview.
3.As I said, a video portrays a sense of attitude and creativity. On paper it seems like facts alone, no personality.

4.I liked how in these video resumes they incorporated some individuality (Stanley's hats and Ben's Piano playing).
5.I didn't like the length, I'd say both were a little too long to keep an employer's attention.
6.The first video had fine quality, but I must say the second video was not meeting acceptable quality. The pictures were all really blurry.
7.I would make sure the pictures I use are clear, I would make my video a little shorter, as well as incorporate a few more bullets of information. Reading is more clear than hearing it really quick.

8.I liked the first video most
9.The first video has music, clear pictures, and nice effects. I liked how she used herself in the video too.
10.The disliked the second video the most.
11.It was too loud and flashy. It was not personal at all there weren't any photography of the artist or their work!?

12.For my video I hope to use upbeat music but not crazy. A calm happy. I'd like to use bullets for facts about me and to show my calm professional side as well as my fun side. :)
