I don't understand this story. When the title says story of marriage I thought that meant a story about marriage. What I watch was completely different from what I thought it was going to be. Maybe the director showed marriage in an abstract form.
It starts out with a ninja jumping from something and landing on the ground. The person ( I can't tell if it's a guy or girl, but I'm assuming it's a guy) is dressed in all black with a face mask and a sword. The colors are dull and mostly browns and blues. They definitely changed the colors when they were editing this video. The ninja slowly approaches a building where he encounters another ninja. The two ninjas fight and the ninja who attacked the other ninja defeated him and he moved on. The second ninja runs on a big sidewalk next to this old building and then he starts fighting another ninja. The third ninja moves on and defeats the second ninja. The third ninja runs up a flight of stairs until he encounters another ninja (this is the 4th ninja that appears during the film). The fourth ninja beats the third ninja and then the fourth ninja moves on and he then he runs up a series of stairs and runs across a tunnel and a roof. He then encounters a fifth ninja on the rooftop. He slowly approaches the fifth ninja and he is ready to fight, but he doesn't. The fifth ninja looks like a woman because of the long black hair and she isn't wearing a face mask. She gets out her sword and raises it above her head. The other ninja bows down to her. The camera then zooms out and shows the dense fog over top of the building then it ends.
It appears that the four ninjas in the beginning were guys that were fighting to get to the woman. The fourth guy ninja waited patiently to defeat the third ninja and then he got his chance with the woman ninja.
There wasn't any dialogue in this piece. The camera shots are amazing though and I have no clue how they got them. The camera would run with the ninjas and the cameras looked like they were high up because of the angles. They showed on ninja running across the sidewalk through a birds eye view. The camera also followed the ninja up the stairs. This old and run-down building is big and tall. This looked like it was shot from a crane or some kind of moving vehicle. Some of the shots were shaky, but that's because the people were running or climbing up the stairs, so the camera had to quickly follow them.
The people who edited this video did a good job of making the colors look muted. Some of the fighting could have been more realistic. There were some fighting scenes were it looked too fake and I could tell the other guy didn't really punch him and the guy would just fall down. The camera shots were amazing though. They chose a great place to shoot this video. I wish there was some time of dialogue.

Framed- an iphone 4S short story
http://vimeo.com/31013938 Framed- an iphone 4S short story. The story is about a photographer who walks around the woods to take some pictures, when something unexpected happens. It says in the description that it this video was shot entirely on iPhone 4S. The editing was done on Final Cut Pro 7.
Photography: Thomas Buthod, Music by Jonathan Helme - Niorgen, Actor: Franck Descombes. The video is 3:18 minutes long.
The first scene is a guy walking through the woods with his camera and tripod. It looks like he is dressed up in clothes that was worn by people 100+ years ago. Then they show the guy walking on a hill covered with grass and trees. The guy then sets up his tripod and gets his old camera out near a stone wall looking over a beautiful landscape. He looks through the view finder and he sees this young lady sitting on the stone wall reading her book. When he looks at the stonewall without the view finder, he doesn't see the lady anymore. He then walks closer to the lady while he is looking through the viewfinder of his camera. He touches the lady, but she isn't actually there. The lady never looks at him directly. The lady eventually leaves and then she drops her book. Inside the book it says Property of Lise Grenier." Then the guy opens up the inside of his camera case and it says the same thing. At the end, the guy smiles and looks over at the landscape. The scene starts to fade at 2:56 minutes. It complete fades to black and then the credits roll the rest of the time.
I thought this was a wonderful story and it was well told it a short amount of time. It's hard to believe that this was entirely shot on a iPhone 4S. Most of the shots were pretty clear and not shaky. The editors did a great job of editing this piece. When the guy was looking through the viewfinder of the camera at the lady the scene had a black grid with a large white circle to make it seem like he was looking through the camera. It also had a old time look to it. I like the different angles throughout the film.
The title comes up 20 seconds into the video. The title is in all capital letters, white, and is over top of another scene. It last about 6 seconds. I like the position and color of the title. I also think the title has appropriate tracking between the letters.

Who Sees The Real You?- Man On The Street
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsUKjlOx5Zk "Who Sees The Real You?- Man On The Street" This is another video by Soul Pancake. This video is 2:40 minutes long.
This video has the same style has the last Soul Pancake video. I can tell it was made by the same person. At the beginning of the video there is text at the bottom of the screen that says "Who sees the real me?" It is in the same font as the previous video (handwritten font). It starts out with a man in the center of the screen standing in front a body of water and some buildings. The guy says "Who sees the real me? very slowing. Then it shows 8 different people standing there and thinking about the question. Around 13 seconds is when the first person answers the question. He shows a zoomed-out and a zoomed-in angle of the couple. He shows 12 more people. They are a mix of women and men of different age groups. They are all answering the same question, some have the same answers and other have different answers. The people who talk longer than others will have a zoomed in shot of their face and a zoomed-out shot from the waist up. The people who are talking are in focus and the background, which includes the landscape and a few people walking by are out of focus. The very last guy that they interview has a completely different answer than everyone else. His answer is that everyone sees the real him. The it cuts to a black screen that says "Who sees the real you?" in white text. The words are up for about 5 seconds then it fades to black. The last 30 seconds are the same Soul Pancake logo and videos and it says subscribe.
I really like this video. The camera is very steady and the shots are very clear. I noticed that all of the people have a small black microphone attached to the top of their shirts. I am guessing that these people are completely random and they are pulled off the street. There were probably asked if they wanted to be apart of this film. I like the different camera angles. They isn't any point of view angles, but I don't think there needs to be. Having a close-up and far away shot of the people are enough camera angles for the purpose of this short story. I think it's funny how they saved the one guy for the last scene. I am sure they did that one purpose. There is music playing the whole time, but it is low. I think the choice of music fits the piece. The video would have a different feeling if there wasn't music playing.

A Short Story About Coffee
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHA1MiRieLQ "A Short Story About Coffee."" How is a person supposed to know what they want in life? From writer/director Casey Donahue, is a short story about coffee."
This is a 3:25 minute video. The title scene is up for about 3 seconds. I think it should be up for a little bit longer. The white text is centered on a black scene and it looks like a hand written font. I like how he starts off the story. The main character is standing in a field of grass/tress and there is a voice over, which is the main character's voice. Then the music starts. He shows a girl standing in the same spot he was. He does another voice over and introduces the girl. Then he shows a close up of her face and she says, "What do you want?" Then the main character does a voice over and responds with "I dunno." He does the same thing 4 more times, but with different girls. On the last three girls (close-ups) he has text at the bottom of the screen that says what they hate. It's in the same font as the movie title but it's in yellow this time. He shows a picture of the Earth, his house, and a bakery next. Then the camera angle switches and he shows a close-up of his face. The camera is slowly zooming in on his face. Then it shows a zoom-in shot of an iced coffee. The first 40 seconds are basically him introducing himself and the video. The next scenes are the main character and the worker in the coffee shop talking. They mainly show close-ups of the main character and the worker. They have a few waist-up shots of the characters. Both characters are in the scene, but sometimes you only see the back of the other character's head. They have a few point of view shots. They show the worker leaving the store and the main character is drinking the iced coffee that he gave him. Worker is walking down the street and throws his apron in the air. The camera follows the apron from the sky to the ground as it's falling. Camera is now looking at the main character drinking the iced coffee as he is watching the worker walk away. Then it ends.
I really liked this short story. It flowed well and I understood it. 3 minutes is not a lot of time to create a story. The camera was very steady the whole time. They probably used a tripod. All of the shoots were clear, so he probably had a high resolution camera. I liked the different camera angles. He would always show a zoomed-out and zoomed-in angle of the person. He even showed a few point of view shots like him opening the door, the iced coffee, and the apron falling. The music is simple, but it adds to the video. The music changes around 40 seconds. A conversation starts between the main character and the coffee worker, and there is still music playing very low. Around 2:36 minutes the music changes again when the coffee worker leaves the building. At 2:58 minutes the video ends with a black screen. I think he should have faded the black screen between the last scene. For the next 25 seconds it shows Soul Pancake's logo and a few videos that have links to them. I am not a fan of the typography in this video. It looks like it was hand written. He had two still shots, one of his house and the other of Earth. That doesn't bothering me too much that it's not moving, but I think the piece would have flowed better if he could have showed a video of his house and Earth. A video would be hard to do of Earth unless you found some satellite footage, which would be hard to do. Overall, I think this short story was very well done.

Job Interview Fail (FUNNY, Yet Serious)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9PZQn3mojw Job Interview Fail (FUNNY, Yet Serious). This video was made by MyCareerSorter. I am hoping this was scripted and not real. This video would be very sad and embarrassing if it was real.
This video is about a interview gone terribly wrong. It shows you what NOT to do during an interview. The first tip says that you aren't supposed to open the door without someone opening for you or someone saying that you can come in. The second tip says that you should dress appropriately and not carry personal items like a soda in your hand. The applicant is dress poorly with ripped clothes and is not dressed professionally at all. When the interviewer went to go shake hands with her, she said that her hands seemed like flippers and the applicant didn't shake her hand firmly. The video also said don't bring another person with you to the interview. Do not use your cell phone for any reason during an interview and do not put your personally belongings on the table. She is texting during her interview. The applicant keeps telling the interviewer to hold on and she forgot her list of recommendations. The interviewer asks the applicant to tell her about herself: she says that she is 28, lives with her parents, what kinds of music she listens to, and that she just started dating her boyfriend who she brought with her to the interview on Wednesday. The applicant gives all of the wrong answers and the answers are not intelligent at all. The applicant tells the interviewer that she needs to hurry up. The applicant told the interviewer that she was always about 15 minutes late to her job, she got fired from it, and she didn't handle money well. There are a couple other things that the applicant does wrong.
The applicant is doing everything wrong you can do in a interview. I'm pretty sure this is scripted. The applicant has fake tattoos and during the video it said that even though her tattoos are fake, if someone had real tattoos on their arm they should cover it up. This is a funny and annoying interview because of how bad it is. The actually video was very annoying. I don't like how it was edited. There were many points during the video where the video would pause and a pop up would show up that said what not to do. I don't mind the little notes popping up, but it is very annoying that the video would pause. They video quality seemed low. It wasn't that clear. The camera seemed steady like it was on a tripod, which is good. I like the different camera angles. The camera zoomed in and zoomed out on the interviewer and the applicant. At the beginning and end of the video it shows a zoomed out shot of the room. It is a big conference room.

Funny Job Interview Video Comedy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KV2rxpQ_Js Funny Job Interview Video Comedy
This video is 2:13 minutes long. I'm not sure who created it since there aren't any credits. The person who uploaded the video username is Teamwork and Leadership. This video looks like it would be apart of some sort of comedy bit or late night show skit.
It starts out with people laughing. The camera comes in from an angle and slowly zooms in on the two people. They are sitting in an office setting. The interviewer is at the desk looking at his papers and the applicant is sitting across from him with his briefcase. Both actors are dressed very professionally. There are various camera angles. The camera zooms in on the applicant and the interviewer. It also shows the back of the applicant and the front of the interviewer zoomed out and it also shows a slight angled shot of the room and both people. Then it shows the applicant walking out of the room and shows the hallway. I like the different camera angles. They went back and forth welled and it followed nicely.
I liked the script. The whole interview was about the applicant passing these "test," but the applicant didn't know if he actually passed the test or not. The interviewer would say he would pass the test and he got the job and then the applicant would be happy and excited that he got the job. Then the interviewer would say that was the real test and he failed. This went on about 4 or 5 different times.
The camera was very steady and the shots weren't shaky. I'm pretty sure the camera was on a tripod the whole time. The video just ends without any transitions or credits. I don't like how the video ends. That is not a way to end a video. This video didn't have any titling either. All videos need to have titles and possibly credits if they are necessary. The only reason I can think of why this video doesn't have any titling is because it was cut short from a longer piece or it was taken off from a comedy skit that was aired on T.V.

Awesome and Funny - Job Interview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWnVNJCQZIg This looks like a interview done by a student. It is called "Awesome and Funny - Job Interview." The person who uploaded this video is called "joalexnillo." It is 3:54 minutes long. It was directed by Paul Del Vecchio, written by Marty Hill, produced by David R. Doumeng, starring Jill Butterfield as the applicant, and Melisa Breiner-Sanders as the interviewer. It was edited, photographed, sound mix and color by Paul Del Vecchio for Triple E Productions. It was shot at Triple E productions.
The title shows up at the very beginning. It says "INTERVIEW WITH AN APPLICANT" in white letters across a black background it a sans serif font. It lasts for about 5 seconds and then it fades. It shows the applicant walking into the room then the applicant and interviewer shake hands and sit down. The camera goes back and forth between the interviewer and the applicant talking. It is a funny interview. The interviewer says that the applicant is over qualified for the job and the applicant says well that's okay I don't intend to work very hard. They continue talking and then the applicant said that she quits and the interviewer says you can't quit because you don't work here. The applicant said she would never work here anyways and the interviewer says that she would never hire her. Then the interviewer says that she would fire her before she would quit. They go back and forth role playing that the applicant got the job and then quits or gets fired. The interviewer says that she is the junior vice president. The interviewer can't fire her because the applicant is now the junior vice president and is now the interviewer's boss. The applicant now fired the interviewer. It ends at 3:31 minutes and cuts straight to black screen. Then the credits show until the end of the video. When the credits are being shown there is music playing in the background. I think the music fits well with the story.
I like the typography in the tilting. It was clean and easy to use. Nothing fancy was needed. The story was funny and well done. Both actors were good. The camera seemed shaky. I'm not sure if it was on a tripod or not. I like how the camera goes back and forth between the two people. The lightning isn't bad, but it could be a little brighter. The interview takes place in a small room. I think they took full advantage of the small space. The ladies' heads get cut off. I think they should zoom out a little and let the people have more head head room. The script was great.

The Talk- Jeff Probst on Suvivor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oteJdKanyKU This is The Talk Jeff Probst on 'Survivor' New Season. This video is 3:16 minutes long. The Talk made and produced this video. It says that this video was published on September 25th, 2013.
It starts off with a close-up of Jeff Probst and the audience clapping. Then the camera cuts to a zoomed-out shot of the studio with all 5 ladies and Jeff gathered around the table sitting down. Jeff is sitting in the middle. The Talk logo/icon shows up in the top right hand corner and the left- hand corner the entire time. Jeff is the first person to talk. He talks about the 27th season of survivor and talks about the new season- Blood vs Water. At 12 seconds they show a picture of the survivor cast and at 30 seconds they show another picture of Rupert, Tina, and Colton (which have been on the show before). Jeff continues talking about some of the cast members. They show another picture of Hayden Moss who won Big Brother which is Julie Chen's show. The camera then zooms in on her to show her reaction. At 1:09 minutes a red and white banner pops up across the screen the says "Top Talker, Jeff Probst, Suvivor." At 1:20 Sheryl starts talking. It shows all of the people around the table then it cuts to a close-up of Sheryl talking. They have another camera angle that is at a diagonal angle that shows Jeff, Sharon, and Aisha. They go back and forth between the different camera angles. At 3:08 minutes Julie says, "And there you have you answers, Jeff Probst everyone." The audience is clapping and then it zooms in on Jeff's face while he is laughing and smiling. The it fades into black and shows the ladies of The Talk and that ends the video.
I thought it was interesting that Jeff Probst was more of the interviewer and the ladies were the interviewee. Jeff talked a lot more than the other people. He was more telling everyone about survivor and then he asked all of the ladies what they would do if they were on the show. The ladies did ask a couple of questions but not much. I like all of the different camera angles. The camera was very steady. There wasn't any music in the video, but there was some clapping from the audience. I'm not sure why "The Talk" logo had to appear twice in the video. The bottom left logo was annoying. They should get rid of that logo and keep the top one. The top logo had a low opacity and the bottom one had full opacity. This was a interesting and funny interview. I like hearing the different opinions of the ladies. Julie signed off nicely.
It starts off with a close-up of Jeff Probst and the audience clapping. Then the camera cuts to a zoomed-out shot of the studio with all 5 ladies and Jeff gathered around the table sitting down. Jeff is sitting in the middle. The Talk logo/icon shows up in the top right hand corner and the left- hand corner the entire time. Jeff is the first person to talk. He talks about the 27th season of survivor and talks about the new season- Blood vs Water. At 12 seconds they show a picture of the survivor cast and at 30 seconds they show another picture of Rupert, Tina, and Colton (which have been on the show before).

Adam Levine Interview- Big Star in a Small Car- Top Gear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmBTytmBBy0 This is Adam Levine interview & lap- Big Star in a Small Care- Top Gear USA Series 2. It is 5:59 minutes long. I'm assuming that Top Gear made this video.
This video starts off by the interviewer saying, "Our celebrity today is Adam Levine." Everyone is outside around the race track. Adam and the interviewer talk for a little bit then Adam gets in the car (red Suzuki). At 30 seconds they show a quick black screen with the Top Gear logo then it cuts to Adam inside of the car. He starts racing at 36 seconds and ends at 1:30 minutes. It cusses a lot in the car because he's mad, so there are a lot of beeping noises (I think it's funny). The interviewer is talking while Adam is driving. Once Adam gets into the studio, he walks to the chair shakes hands with the interviewer and sits down. The first questions the interviewer ask is, "I wanna know how you got into cars" since he is a musician and on the voice. My favorite part is at 2:22 minutes when the interviewer asks, "Your first car was what?" And Adam responds with, "My first car was a 1971 Mach 1 Mustang." They show various camera angles in this video. The show a far away shot of the studio and all of the people in the studio, a close-up shot of Adam, a close-up shot of the interviewer, high angle shot of the studio and low angle shot of the 2 people talking. Adam and the interviewer go back and forth asking questions and responding. They show the audience reactions. Sometimes they laugh and sometimes they clap. They also show reactions of the interviewer and Adam. At 5:41 minutes the interviewer says, "You guys let's give Adam a hand, come on." It ends with a high angle shot of the studio with people clapping and then a close-up shot of Adam smiling. Then it shows a black screen that shows the BBC Worldwide logo.
I really liked this interview. I like how the interviewer introduce Adam in the beginning and how he told people to give him a hand at the end. They showed Adam racing the car in the beginning, but they didn't reveal his race time until the end of the interview. They used various camera angles, which made this video look good and it kept my interest. I liked how the showed different angles and zoom of the people and of the studio. The camera was steady the whole time. The interviewer asked some good questions too. Adam seemed to answer honestly and he was funny. It was good that the interviewer was talking while Adam was driving so the audience wasn't just watching Adam drive and cuss for a minute. Both Adam and the interviewer had good facial expressions and used their hands to talk. This was a very interesting and entertaining interview.

Good Morning America Interview with Lady Gaga
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/lady-gaga-interview-featured-paper-dress-singer-premiered-20009950 This is a Good Morning Interview with Lady Gaga. It's 3:10 minutes long. Good Morning America or abc news made this video.
They first scene is 4 people sitting down at a desk inside a studio. The one lady starts talking about Lady Gaga and then it shows B-roll while the lady is still talking. Then it shows Lady Gaga walking and greeting her fans in he new dress. They show more B-roll of Lady Gaga driving in her car. signing autographs, and some of her music video. Then they show the designer working in his studio who made Lady Gaga's white paper dress. He is a 22 year old and one of the fashion's world youngest and brightest stars. They show a close up of the designer's face and a shot of his studio. They show more of Lady Gaga's music videos.
This video includes titling. There is a yellow and red banner that comes across the screen from the left side and ends off-centered. It says GMA Heat Index, How Gaga Pulled It Off in the yellow part (black lettering) and says The Dress Made of Paper in the red part (white lettering). This banner stays up the whole time. It also says abs News.com in the lower right hand corner. They play Lady Gaga's new song, "Applause" has background music. When people were talking the music was turned down or turned off. At 2:13 minutes, one of the lady says, "For Good Morning America Lindsey Janice, ABC News, New York," then it cuts back to inside the studio. They didn't actually interview Lady Gaga in this video. They just talked about her new dress, the VMA'S, and the designer who made it. Then the people in the studio laugh and the video is over. The people in the studio were dressed up in dresses and suits.
I liked that they showed a lot of B-roll, but I thought I was going to see the people actually interview Lady Gaga. I guess that's another video. I did get to see the fashion designer being interviewed. The titling worked well, but I don't think it needs to be up the entire time. At 2:02 minutes the banner text changes and now says Mathieu Mirano in the red part and Fashion Designer in the yellow part. Then it goes back to the previous text. When the fashion designer was talking they showed a smaller video screen off to the right of the screen to show to the audience (viewers at home) what he is talking about. I like that they do a spilt screen. It would be annoying if they did in the whole time, but they didn't. I like how they lady signed off, but the video continued after she signed off, which doesn't make sense.

Hello On Two Morning Talk Show
http://vimeo.com/71364290 Part 1: TV2 "Hello On Two" Morning Talk Show Interview. This interview is 15 minutes long. This is RTM's only English talk show. I'm not sure where the studio is located at. I am researching talk show interviews because I am doing a self-interview video project. I want to know how the interview starts and end. I also want to see the different camera angles and timing. I'm not sure who made this video.
This interview starts out by the guy interviewer saying "Welcome back on this wonderful Tuesday afternoon." The guy and woman are sitting on a couch and they are both holding some papers. The woman interviewer reference her paper when she introduces their guest. She says, "So we are going to welcome... (and the name)." The camera shows the two interviewers from the waist up then the camera zooms out and shows the whole studio with all 3 people sitting down. Then they show the interviewee (the guest) from the waist up. At 57 seconds a banner pops up towards the bottom of the screen that says, "Underwater Photography" for about 7 seconds. Another banner pops up at 1:19 minutes and this time it says, "Mohd Halimi Abdullah, Director PADi Scuba Instructor, Ocean Element, "and that lasts for about 8 seconds. The camera goes back and forth from the interviewee, interviews, and the studio. It also shows the interviewees underwater photography cameras and a video clip of him diving. They show a close-up of them. The interviewers moves their hands frequently while talking, but nothing too distracting. They also show some point of view shots of the interviewee holding his camera. They don't show the reactions of people. Sometimes while the camera is on the interviewee the interviewers will react, but we only hear their reactions (mmh, yeah, right, oh, etc.). We don't actually see it. The interview just ends at 15 minutes. This is only part 1 of the interview, so I'm amusing that there is a part 2.
I didn't watch the entire interview. I watched up to 5 minutes then I skimmed though the rest. This video has 3 basic camera angles: close-up of the interviewee, close-up of the interviewers, and far away shot of the studio with the people sitting on the couch. They is a good amount of B-roll in this video. They show pictures and videos of the underwater photography in the water. They show some of the pictures for too long. The timing of the different cuts are pretty slow. I get a slow and calm feeling from this interview. I like that we hear the reactions as well as see them. I see the interviewers reactions a few times, but I hear them more. The point of view shots of the hands helped this video out a lot, so I' not constantly watching the people talk. This isn't the most exciting interview I have watched.

Good Morning America Interview with Katy Perry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw-N2nX9z7I This is Good Morning America Interview with Kay Perry. This interview is 14:58 minutes long. I am doing a self-interview with myself about my job at the horse barn. I am having trouble starting and ending my interview. I think I am going to pretend I am doing my self-interview for a morning talk show. So I am researching morning talk show interviews. Good Morning America made this video (or people working for them).
This interview starts out with Kay Perry walking into the studio greeting all of her fans. She hugs a guy and then walks to the desk. They people in the studio don't even give her a chair. She has to stand and pretend there is a chair there, which I think is rude. How do you invite a celebrity into a studio to interviewer her and not give her a chair? One of the woman interviewer says, "Live in our studio for the first time Kay Perry." They talk about her new album Prism and her music video "Roar." All of the people in the studio are dressed up. I would call that business casual. There are 5 interviewers and one interviewee, which is Katy Perry. They show different camera angles. They show the whole inside of the studio with all 6 people, they show a close-up of Katy Perry from the waist up, and a close up of the other interviewers. They also show a lot of B-roll. They show outside of the studio and some parts of her music videos. They camera goes back her forth from Katy Perry, to the other interviewers, and the whole inside of the studio. At 3:00 minutes someone says, "We are going to get some news from Josh," then it cut to a different scene. They probably showed a commercial during that break. The next scene is completely different from the first one. Everybody moved to a different room and Katy Perry finally has a chair! They continue talking about her new song. The interviewers asks her questions and Katy Perry responds. Around 11 minutes everybody moves outside the studio. Everybody is now standing and talking. They show close-ups of the people and far away shots. Katy Perry is the only one without a microphone. Most of the people are standing straight up. Kay Perry uses her hands sometimes while she is talking. She moves around a little bit too. The interview ends or the video ends when one of the guys says, "Let's get to the boards (he is talking about the weather).
One of the woman interviewer says at the end, "Nice to meet you I have been looking forward to it."
This interview started out by the interviewers saying "Live in our studio." I didn't hear them say the name of the studio, but I didn't watch every minute of this video either. The interview kind of just ended. They didn't really say thank you or goodbye. They where in a typical morning talk show studio. I think it's rude to not give a chair to Katy Perry or whoever their guest may be when everyone else is sitting down. I like the different camera angles. The camera was steady inside the studio, but when the people went outside to talk the camera was a little shaky. They showed a good bit of B-roll, which is good especially for a morning talk show. People don't want to watch the interviewers and interviewee talk the entire time. In the beginning of the interview they had her song "Roar" playing low in the background while the people were talking. They even showed some reactions. I think this is a good video of the live interview.
