Cspan video winners

I looked on the cspan student cam website and watched videos of three past winners.


The first video was called "Stand up and speak out". It was about a boy who went to the white house almost everyday of the summer to film protestors. I think this video won because he spent a lot of time on it and used a lot of interviews. I think that interviews and getting the protestors on film was a huge component.


Another winner was "No child left behind". That was a look into the act that President Bush made in 2001. It says that schools and districts will be held accountable if the kids are failing. I think this video won because she also had a lot of interviews. It is important to find people that are influential in the subject that you are doing.


The third winner was "The truth about cheating". This video was about kids cheating to get ahead. I think this video won because they used a lot of cspan videos relating directly to the subject. I think that is a huge part of winning and it adds depth to your video.


An important thing we can do for our video is get good interviews. The interviews in these videos really shaped them. Another important thing is to get good cspan videos. If they directly relate to your topic it can help per sway your point.
