I’ve been fortunate to be in a group who constantly come across interesting content and are willing to share to each other for inspiration and to make the most out of our essays. Below these audio and video essays provide my group and I have inspired us to consider even the smallest of details in providing the information and producing high quality outcomes.

Bradley came across NPR’s Episode 696 on the subject of class action. I know they say to “not to judge a book by its cover” but at first I was put off by the twenty-minute time frame and the exploration of such legal matters. But, I took a chance it was absolutely worth it! The progression of the narrative enticed me from the beginning with the use vox-pops and then progressing to casual commentary. Weaved in through the commentary is the use of an interview, where the guys would then provide pop-culture evidence in order for the audience to understand what the interviewee is talking about.

Every single Every Frame a Painting video by Tony Zhou is rich with inspiration. Not only does simplicity of voice narration guides the visual component along, but also unpacking and analysing a simple controlling idea within the span of seven to eight minutes. Zhou conversationally and meticulously takes his time to clearly explain and then provide examples (both visually and aurally), which allows the viewers to fully understand and digest what he’s saying. Its casual tone, consistent pace and simple controlling idea are what I hope we could produce for our Project Brief Four.
