This video had different shot ideas for photos. I liked how he used, ” get the action and don’t forget the reaction”. For locator shots, he used street signs. He focused in on different things, depending on where he was. His different angles told something specific about each locations. His choppy cuts made the story interesting. I would suggest less “random” shots (i.e. the leaf, the yellow tape, etc), not to be taken out completely, just fewer of them. Overall, I like it vert much.

This webinar was very informative and had many different facts that I didn’t know about. Yes, you can use the basic “Google search” and for the most part, it’s fine for the common consumer. But, if you are a journalist and want the truth, you will dig deeper. The meta data is useful (not always though, especially for debunking), checking pictures put on page (i.e. if it says abc news, but it’s not even the right logo) because people can put whatever they want on their website with photoshop and other applications. Advanced investigators slow down videos to check if those are real. TweetDeck and TreeVerse are also a useful source. Using Google Earth to check location is also very good, approx. every 5 years they update their photos. Map checking is a very cool tool, it estimates about how many people can fit in a specific area.
