Linking Gaza to the Outside World and Barber's Tales videos.

The two videos, Linking Gaza to the Outside World and Barber's Tales are different in numerous aspects of how they are portrayed. In Linking Gaza's video, there was no background music throughout the narration and the reporter's tone does not change throughout, although he speaks in an understandable pace that isn’t quite fast. None of the information he provides is highlighted, even the important ones. In addition, he concentrates mainly on the perspective of the tunnel smugglers but not much on the people outside and what they think, or their opinion regarding these tunnels. He presents quotes after each new idea portrayed. There are close ups in parts of the video which are effective because they give an idea about life in Gaza and makes the report more realistic and clear. The video was too long and had a great amount of information. Moreover, no music was included which lead to it being too informative and quite boring for the audience.
On the other hand, the Barber's Tales video had background music which changed according to the city choice. The reporter's pace also changed throughout the video as it wasn’t the same voice off, so the pace and the tone both differed in several parts of the video. The video was designed to show more than one aspect of the same issue, it was structured in a way to portray barber's shops in different places, and how they all have one thing in common which is their job. Bringing in more than one city gives the audience a wider view of the report. In addition, different barber's viewpoints give the audience an idea about the different perspectives that they have towards their job, which builds an interesting picture. The shots of the barbers' days at work and their working place build an interesting picture for the audience, and although the music was entertaining, it came to a boring end. Therefore, the music being boring at the end and the video being too long would lose the audience's attention.
